After Storage in a Museum Vault for Twenty Two Years it’s Revealed!

With the gracious generosity of the Paul and Lulu Hilliard University Art Museum this Hayes Town Egg sculpture will be on display for the first time ever. The Vivian Alexander Gallery and Museum will have this sculpture on display at the Acadiana Center for the Arts on Vermilion St. in Lafayette for one day, Thursday, October 23, 2008.

Twenty two years ago Alexander Caldwell was commissioned by A. Hayes Town, a most influential architect in the history of Louisiana, to create an egg sculpture to commemorate this famous architect’s work. Alexander chose the Museum on St. Mary Blvd. as the center of his commissioned piece; he decided that this structure embodied everything that was Town’s legacy as well as his major contribution to Lafayette and USL historical architecture.

In addition to an exact scale model of the Museum, many small and innocuous areas of the sculpture are embedded with symbols that make it a historical chronicle that is the fame of Hayes Town.
