Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Auguste Rodin's "Le Penseur," is thought to depict Dante thinking about his poem. What is he resting his chin on?

Answer: right hand

Also known as "The Thinker," this bronze and marble statue dating only back to 1902 shows Dante resting his chin on his right hand.

2. Which of these famous statues is a Modern Wonder of the World?

Answer: Moai of Easter Island

The Moai of Easter Island is a Modern Wonder of the World, which Colossus and Zeus were ancient wonders but, sadly, no longer remain (but are, in fact, in remains). The Great Buddha at Kamakura might have a chance if the Moai fall down.

3. Thought to be sculpted by Alexandros of Antioch, Venus de Milo has how many limbs still fully intact?

Answer: 2

She still has two legs!

4. Of whom are there over 40,000 statues in France?

Answer: Joan of Arc

Now that we have that out of the way, there are over 40,000 known statues of Joan of Arc in France, alone! And, yes, Celine Dion is not even French! Jeanne d'Arc is the patron saint of France.

5. Urban legend states that which of the following aspects of an equestrian statue symbolizes whether or not a soldier has been killed in battle?

Answer: the horse's hooves

According to urban legend, a horse with one raised leg typically signifies that the rider (often a military leader or soldier) died as a result of wounds sustained in battle. This is far from a universal fact.

6. Which of these materials gives the Statue of Liberty her green hue?

Answer: copper

Oxidized copper gives the statue her current green color, so those who were there when she was first erected saw her in copper!

Answer: 5 in

She stands a proud 4 and 3/8 inches!
