In rather stark contrast to most monuments dedicated to people, this monument dedicated to Albert Einstein is not mounted on a pedestal, but seated on a bench, and rather approachable and inviting (although it is twice as tall as the average man).
Einstein's book is engraved with his three most important equations, and more than 2,700 metal studs are embedded in the base, denoting the location of various astronomical objects at the time of its dedication. If you stand in the center of the platform, Einstein appears to be making direct eye contact.
