National Museum of Dance (visit link)
"The National Museum of Dance & Hall of Fame was established in 1986 as the only museum in the nation and one of the few in the world that is dedicated entirely to the art of dance. The Museum is located in the former Washington Bathhouse, a historic building in the Saratoga Spa State Park. The Museum's archives house a growing collection of photographs, videos, costumes, documents, biographies and artifacts that honor all forms of dance throughout history."

"Athena located in the front circle, is an iconic representation of the many forms of dance celebrated by the museum. The seven foot tall, scrap metal sculpture, created by the renowned artist Judith Brown, was donated by Swyer's widow Anne, in 1990"
