Description
The Louis Pasteur Memorial is an impressive Art Deco style sculpture designed by French sculptor Leon Hermant.
This 28-foot structure is topped with a bronze bust of the famous scientist, and its base is decorated with a touching quote: 'We do not ask the sufferer about his country of origin or religion. We only say: You are suffering. That is enough. You belong to me and I will help you.
The sculptural elements, including the figure of a woman holding suffering children, symbolize the impact of Pasteur's discoveries on the fight against disease. The monument is a fascinating combination of scientific history and valuable public art.
