El parque actúa como una especie de lienzo al aire libre para la ciudad, constantemente remodelado por los gustos y las fortunas cambiantes. Miren su teléfono nuevamente para ver la escultura de la Victoria Alada. Es una hermosa réplica en bronce de una estatua antigua que ha custodiado este espacio durante décadas.
The park acts as a sort of open-air canvas for the city, constantly reshaped by changing tastes and fortunes. Look at your phone again to see the Victoria Alada, or Winged Victory sculpture. It is a gorgeous bronze replica of an ancient statue that has guarded this space for decades.
Despite the occasional architectural mishap, the park is deeply intertwined with the pursuit of knowledge, much like the Natural Sciences Museum we just explored. There is even a touch of mystery here. Somewhere in this park, beneath a bust of the famous physicist Madame Curie, lies a buried time capsule. It contains soil from Poland and glass laboratory tubes she actually used. It is scheduled to be opened in 2067, but there is a catch. After the original bronze bust was stolen and the area underwent extensive renovations, the exact location of the capsule was lost. To this day, the public has no idea where it actually is.
As we continue our walk, let your eyes drift up from the sprawling canopy of the tipa and jacaranda trees toward the sky above. We are about to look a whole lot further up, because just a three-minute walk away is the Argentine Association of Friends of Astronomy. Let us head there now.
