Description
Named the "Ship of Fools", this bronze statue of a boat carrying seven people, a skeleton, and a dog is planted in a main pathway and catches the eye of travelers. Based on a popular sixteenth-century book by Sebastian Brant, this piece was sculpted by Juergen Weber off of woodcuts by favorite Albrecht Dürer.
This gloomy sculpture shows an expelled Adam and Eve, their murderous son Cain, and other violent figures. It is a scene showing the destruction of the world.
