Centennial Park, Column Garden
The Column Garden in Centennial Park is named for these columns. The nine metre high Corinthian sandstone columns originally flanked the front entrance of the William Street wing of the Australian Museum, in the city. The columns were dismantled and moved to Centennial Park where they were then used as the base for these statues. The statues were manufactured in 1888 by Villeroy and Boch, the famous Luxembourg pottery company. "Sunrise" (right) is a standing female figure with a baby boy on a half orb, while "Sunset" (left) is a female figure draped in a cloak from head to feet.
