Document Description
The proposed Project consists in the installation of a Celestial Globe at the Griffith observatory. The rotating globe is to be mounted on a tall post over the Observatory’s Gravity’s Stairway, which connects the building’s historic level and new galleries added in 2006. The Celestial Globe exhibit is an 800-pound modern interpretation of the ancient Farnese Atlas sculpture sphere that portrays 43 constellations of the night sky. Beneficiaries of the project are the patrons of the Observatory.
