Learning Together Statue
| The Learning Together Statue was designed by the sculptor Ray Castell for the Open University. The University wanted a statue that represented the theme of international learning together. Ray sculpted a small maquette of the sculpture, which was then copied at 200cm tall. The statue is carved from white and grey marble and is situated outside the LTS building of the Open University in Milton Keynes. |
