If you need a moment to rest while touring Washington, D. C, then have a seat in the shade on this white granite bench next to Albert Einstein. This bronze memorial of the famous genius physicist was created by Robert Berks in 1979. It was then erected on the grounds of the National Academy of Sciences along Constitution Avenue. The dedication event helped celebrate the centennial of Einstein’s birth in Ulm, Germany. In his hands are three equations of his most celebrated theories.
