Statue de Bernard de Jussieu, Marble statue in Parc de la Tête d'Or, Lyon, France.
The marble statue represents Bernard de Jussieu examining a plant, showcasing the naturalist's dedication to botanical studies and scientific observation.
Created by sculptor Pierre Aubert in 1892, this monument pays tribute to Bernard de Jussieu, a French naturalist who made substantial contributions to botanical classification.
The statue stands as a testament to Lyon's commitment to commemorate scientific figures through public art installations in the city's green spaces.
Located near the large greenhouses in Parc de la Tête d'Or, visitors can access the statue through several walking paths within the park grounds.
The statue's placement faced multiple changes, as it was initially planned for the southern tip of the park's island before moving to its current location in 1969.
