The Spirit of Polonia, Brass and steel sculpture at Milwaukee County Courthouse, US
The Spirit of Polonia features three concentric rings around a brass sphere, symbolizing harmony and unity in its nine-foot stainless steel structure.
Edmund Lewandowski created this sculpture in 1969 to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of Polanki, the Polish Women's Cultural Club of Milwaukee.
The sculpture represents Polish American heritage through its design elements, serving as a central point for Milwaukee's Polish community gatherings.
Located on the South side of the Milwaukee County Courthouse at 901 North 9th Street, the sculpture stands within a sixteen-foot concrete pool.
The sculpture combines three rings of decreasing size surrounding a central brass sphere, representing Earth within the spatial arrangement.
