After waiting on line outside the Museum, visitors enter the lobby to purchase and/or validate their tickets. This sculpture is in the lobby. It is unusual it that it depicts Pope John Paul II mostly in relief in a block of marble that has another figure breaking out of the block. Unfortunately, there is no sign at the site indicating the artist, title or date.
