Statue of Europe, Modern sculpture in European Quarter, Brussels, Belgium
The Statue of Europe rises over 5 meters tall, weighing 800 kilograms, with multicolored arms supporting a sphere topped by a white dove.
The European Commission inaugurated this statue in December 2003, during the European Year of People with Disabilities, with Vice-President Neil Kinnock present at the ceremony.
French artist Bernard Romain collaborated with visually impaired children who participated in modeling, polishing, and painting this resin sculpture.
The statue stands in the garden of Convent Van Maerlant at the intersection of Rue Van Maerlant and Chaussée d'Etterbeek near the European Commission library.
The sculpture incorporates arms of different colors lifting a sphere that mirrors the European Union flag design, representing the integration of diverse European cultures.
