In Amherst, within the Amherst College campus, is this moving sculpture in front of the college's Mead Art Museum.
Amherst College is located in the center of town, southeast of the town common. The Mead Art Museum is on campus. There is a road from Route 9 that runs east of the quad area. Parking is along the road.
The sculpture is on the west side of the art building and near a tall stone steeple. The sculpture is on a concrete base with a plaque on it. The words are as follows:
