A statue of Minerva, the Roman Goddess of Wisdom, stands atop the cupola of the ornate Merced County Courthouse Museum in Merced, California, USA. The historic three-story courthouse was built in 1875 in Italianate style and became a county museum after a new modern Merced courthouse was built in 2007. The lower statue is one of three on the older building that depicts Justitia, the Roman Goddess of Justice.
