Symbolic Mural
Perhaps the greatest undertaking in sculpture at the New Zealand Centennial Exhibition in Wellington is the central panel across the tower block building. It measures 100 feet by 8 feet, and is the largest work of its kind in the Dominion. The theme is that of the Centennial. In the centre is a group of figures symbolic of achievement, prosperity and national life. From the right and the left, processions of figures representing industrial development, transport," defence, the arts and learning, and historical figures march towards the central goal.
