One of the 25 six-foot-tall bronze statues of "The Thinker" by famed French sculptor Auguste Rodin sits in front of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri, USA. It was cast after the artist's death in 1917 and purchased for public display in that Midwestern American city in 1948. Air pollution, especially acid rain, can harm the greenish patina of copper-based bronze sculptures and sometimes cause black streaking to occur on the surface, as seen here.
