The “Allegory of science” and “Clio – The Muse of History”, are two figures located in front of St. Nicholas Cathedral in Nikolaiviertel in Berlin. The two 3m high bronze figures were moved to the Nikolai Quarter in 1987. The “Allegory of science” represents a thoughtful man who braces reading a great book with the right hand against his thigh. With his left hand he holds a globe on the other leg. Another figure which was part of the original ensemble, “Genius of Science”, is now at the Heinrich-von-Kleist Park in Schöneberg.
