"Fallen Dreamer" Returns
After a stint in storage, workers recently repositioned the sculpture "Fallen Dreamer" back onto the east entrance to the Sheldon Museum of Art.
The bronze sculpture was created by Tom Otterness in 1995. "Fallen Dreamer" and other outdoor sculpture installations, including Bryan Hunt's "Arch Falls" (bronze, 1980-81), were removed during the rehabilitation and upgrade of the Sheldon Art Museum’s exterior.
