Albert Einstein Memorial
Washington DC, USA


The Albert Einstein Memorial is a bronze sculpture located near the National Academy of Sciences, depicting the physicist seated on a stone bench with a thoughtful expression. Created by sculptor Robert Berks and unveiled in 1979, the memorial features an inscription of Einstein's famous equation, E=mc², and is surrounded by a circular fountain and a variety of trees and benches.
Visiting the memorial offers a quiet moment of reflection amidst the bustling city, especially popular during cherry blossom season in spring. It's less crowded in the early morning or late afternoon, and nearby attractions include the reflecting pool and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, both just a short walk away.
