»An essential part of students’ lives and the University’s history« – donor couple ensure that Rodin’s »Eva« will be restored

After a vandal knocked Rodin’s world-famous »Eva« off her pedestal in the entrance hall of the main building on 7 February 2016, the bronze statue underwent extensive examination by experts. However, until now the funding for its restoration had not yet been secured. The public appeal for funds has now been answered by married couple Thomas and Birgit Rabe, whose donation has ensured that the artwork will return to the centre of university life at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar.
