Albert Einstein Memorial
Albert Einstein Memorial, Scientific memorial at National Academy of Sciences grounds, Washington, United States
The bronze statue depicts Einstein seated with manuscript papers, measuring 12 feet in height and weighing approximately 4 tons on granite steps.
The National Academy of Sciences unveiled this memorial on April 22, 1979, commemorating the centennial of Einstein's birth and his scientific contributions.
Three significant equations representing Einstein's major scientific advances are engraved on papers held in the statue's left hand for educational purposes.
Visitors can access the memorial without admission fees at 2101 Constitution Avenue, adjacent to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in central Washington.
The circular platform features 2,700 metal studs marking astronomical objects, creating a scientific map beneath the memorial's granite foundation.
