Chopin in Manchester

backblipped

Another sunny Manchester day and I spent it on a Health and Safety course,
Oh Joy!

This artwork on Deansgate is
'Chopin at the piano gazing across at his muse Baroness Aurore Lucile Dupon. Carved into the work is an eagle in flight, the symbol of Poland for over a thousand years and a battle scene representing the Polish fight for freedom.'

It celebrates Chopin's visit to Manchester in 1848, the 200th anniversary of his birth (albeit a year late) and most importantly the role of the Polish community in Manchester and their contribution to civic life. It's a symbol of the friendship between Poland and the UK as well.

Personally I am not to keen but there you have it :-)

p.s. Chopin is ok just the artwork I am not too keen on,
