Richard-Wagner-Büste

Imagine standing here and hearing echoes of a bygone era. Right in this city, Richard Wagner was born. If you look around, just behind you, the Sinti and Roma Memorial tells another important story. But here, at Wagner's bust, you get a sense of a man who transformed the world of opera. The sculptor, Max Klinger, was a great admirer of Wagner himself. He captured him here as a thinker. Look up and notice how Klinger played with Wagner's features to convey his passion and depth. It's a quiet yet powerful dialogue between art and music, between past and present.
