A 12-foot sculpture of Albert Einstein is seated on a bench in front of the National Academy of Sciences. The sculpture, by Robert Berk, is done in the same style as the artist's famous bust of President John F. Kennedy in the Kennedy Center. The Academy of Sciences often features free art exhibits on both science related and non-science related topics.
