Warriors

This beautiful scupture, by Bruno Giorgi, called "The Warriors" but most comonly refered to as "Os Candangos" (word also used as a reference to those who are from Brasília) represents more than 80 thousand workers who came to build the city. It has been concluded in 1959, and restored in 1987.

Antony Gormley's Still Being exibition is in town, and his still beings are spreaded around the city.

This one is standing in a very hectic place, just beside the metropolitan bus station, and is raising a lot of intriguing reactions from the public.

A Bird at the Theatre

It looks like flying, it seems light.

In fact it weighs more than 800kg and sits there, waiting for those who are going to the Theatre.

Meteor

A sculpture, made of a single four-tone block of Carrara marble, embelishes the water garden in front of the Itamaraty Palace, the head Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, since 1967. It represents all five continents, and was conceived by Bruno Giorgi (1905-1993).
