Happy birthday to Henry Moore! 🎉

Born on July 30, 1898, Moore became one of the 20th century’s most influential sculptors, known for his monumental works inspired by the human form and natural landscapes.

His Large Arch has stood outside the Cleo Rogers Memorial Library since 1971, welcoming generations of residents and visitors to walk beneath its sweeping bronze form. Affectionately known to many local children as the “dinosaur bone,” it is more than an internationally significant work of art, it is a gathering place, a beloved Columbus landmark and a symbol of our community’s commitment to making world-class art part of everyday life.

Happy birthday, Henry Moore, and thank you for helping shape the landscape of Columbus! 🎂
