Statues of Famous People

Statues of favourite famous people as well as religious figures and heroes and heroines of mythology are all around.  You can sit next to Spike Milligan in a pleasant park in London, or pose beside Oscar Wilde right in the city centre.

For inspiration sit beside Einstein in Los Angeles at the Griffith Centre.
