Shakespeare Place

 The Shakespeare Memorial, created in 1926, is dedicated to poet and playwright William Shakespeare and features some of his more famous literature characters. It sits in Shakespeare Place between the State Library and Morsehead Fountain Gate to the Botanic Gardens. This area was actually once part of the Botanic Gardens but now sits between the on and off ramps of the Cahill Expressway that connect it to the city. This monument could also be seen in yesterday's photo of Morshead Fountain, at far left, looking towards the State Library.
