The Mussel Sculpture

The Mussel Sculpture in Conwy, Wales, is dedicated to celebrating significant works of art, such as the colossal bust of Jupiter created by English sculptor John Osborn in the early 19th century. This impressive sculpture, standing approximately one meter high and weighing six tons, showcases the sublime expression and grandeur characteristic of classical Greek art.

Originally displayed in Bath's Royal Victoria Park, the bust of Jupiter was crafted from Bath stone and has a rich history tied to the artist's struggles and family support. Designed for an elevated position, the sculpture has become an emblem of artistic heritage and community generosity.
