About The Muddle of the Muses
Where have the iconic Muses from on top of the Clarendon Building gone?
Removed for conservation in 2023, several of the Muses have been conserved or newly cast in lead.
As part of The Muddle of the Muses, three of the statues will be on display in Blackwell Hall: Clio representing History (original lead statue), Calliope representing Epic Poetry (lead reproduction) and Polyhymnia representing Rhetoric (original statue).
Don’t miss this rare chance to see these remarkable sculptures at eye level and discover the intriguing story behind their conservation.
