KNOWN AS THE BLACK AND WHITE HALL FOR OBVIOUS REASONS
The area shown in my photographs is the entrance hall of the Lanyon Building, the iconic centrepiece of Queen's University Belfast. This hall, also known as the Black and White Hall due to its checkered marble floor, does house several statues.
The most prominent statue is a bronze figure of Galileo Galilei, the renowned Italian astronomer and physicist. This statue, created by Pio Fedi, was installed in the hall in 2001 as part of a restoration project.
While there are other sculptures or busts in the hall, information about them is not readily available. The university's website {and other sources] primarily focuses on the architectural and historical significance of the Lanyon Building itself, rather than the specific artworks it contains.
