The plaque reads:
"This Sculpture, named Eurydice, was created by New York artist George Rhoads in 1990. Rhoads describes is work as audio-kinetic sculptures that generate sounds as they move. Look and listen! --for the trampoline, loop the loop, chimes, wooden drums, helixes, spirals, and gongs.
With a number of different paths from top to bottom and several balls moving at once, the sculpture is always changing. When the balls reach the bottom, a motorized chain hoist carries them back to the top. This is the only point in which external power is used; all the other action relies of gravity."
