Vision of Peace, Memorial sculpture in Saint Paul City Hall, Minnesota, United States.
The Vision of Peace sculpture stands 38 feet high inside the Saint Paul City Hall, depicting five Native Americans seated around a fire holding sacred pipes.
Swedish sculptor Carl Milles created this monument in 1936 to honor 340 Minnesota soldiers who died in World War I, with additional names added through 1988.
The sculpture incorporates Native American ceremonial elements observed by Milles in Ponca City, Oklahoma, representing communication with all people through smoke rising from pipes.
Located in the memorial concourse lobby at the Fourth Street entrance, the statue weighs 60 tons and consists of creamy white Mexican onyx sections mounted on steel beams.
The entire structure rotates 66 degrees left and right every 2.5 hours on its base, allowing visitors to view different angles of the 98 assembled sections.
