Rodin's Project for a Monument for the Defense of Paris

Rodin's Project for a Monument to the Defense of Paris Picturesque Chapel Hill, North Carolina, home of the University of North Carolina Tarheels, is an idyllic college town. Less than a block from Franklin Street (famous for its unique shops during the day and its many bars during the night), the Ackland Art Museum holds some stunning works of art. Unimpressive in stature yet fresh and modern, the Ackland Art Museum's red brick exterior belies …

…empty mouth and eye sockets of the winged female haunted me at night. However, the disturbing figures of the winged victory and the dying soldier are almost beautiful together, making the sculpture a memorable art piece. The tiny city of Chapel Hill is home to the resourceful and educational Ackland Art Museum. I highly recommend a trip to Chapel Hill, if not for the Ackland Art Museum, then come by for the Tarheel basketball team!
