About
Dedicated in 1956, the discus thrower was a gift from Italy to thank the United States for returning art that was looted by Nazis during World War II. The column on which the statue stands is from a Roman archeological site. The statue is a replica of the original Discobolus, a 5th-century Greek sculpture.
