Musica Statue Nashville

At 40-ft high, ‘Musica’, by Alan LeQuire is considered to be the largest bronze figure group in America. Plans are currently in progress to transition the sculpture into a magnificent fountain designed by the renowned Los Angeles firm, WET.

“Dance is the physical expression of music and the piece is intended to convey that feeling to the viewer in a composition which is simple, exuberant and celebratory. The theme of the sculpture is music, because of the historical and economic significance of the site. This is the heart of Music Row, the area and the artistic activity for which Nashville is best known. The sculpture conveys the importance of music to Nashville, past, present and future, and represents all forms of music without reference to any one form or style. It is meant to provide a visual icon for the area and for the city as a whole.” -Alan LeQuire

The exterior face of the first floor shops boasts a funky Art Deco style. More than 40,000 people attended the grand opening.
