Euterpe

The Euterpe statue stands at the front of Theatre Graslin, representing the Greek muse of music through detailed stone carving techniques from 1825.

The statue was installed during the construction period of Theatre Graslin, marking the expansion of cultural venues in Nantes during the early 19th century.

Euterpe, positioned at the theater entrance, reflects Nantes' dedication to performing arts through classical Greek mythology representations in public spaces.

The statue remains visible day and night near the theater entrance, allowing visitors to examine the sculptural details during performances or guided tours.

The stone figure holds musical instruments that have maintained their form through two centuries of exposure to maritime weather conditions.
