The Millennium Gate Museum commissioned 3D printing firms Stratasys and 3DPTree made the recreation possible for people to see its grandeur. It is an attempt to replicate the figure - made of wood, ivory and gold - which was lost in a fire at the Palace of Lausus in Constantinople, the city now known as Istanbul. The parts were printed in thermoplastics, using a 3D model that approximated the design of the statue.
This statue, by sculptor Stan Mullins of Athens, Georgia, stands in honor of the freedom fighters of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. The statue draws inspiration from a number of sources, including fifteen-year-old Erika Szeles, a fighter and nurse who was killed in action while attempting to tend to wounded fighters; her image and legacy have become enduring symbols of the revolution.

“Abraham Lincoln” by Martin Dawe, 21st century. This statuette honors President Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president of the United States. Specifically, the state of Georgia played a role in Lincoln’s re-election during the campaign of 1864, as the success of General William Tecumseh Sherman and the Army of the West during the Atlanta campaign and March to the Sea removed any lingering doubts of Lincoln’s resolve for a Union victory during the American Civil War.

Lost Artist Memorial Pedestal, honoring Atlanta patrons and advocates of the arts and educations lost during the Civil War, the Great Fire of Atlanta in 1917, the Winecoff Hotel Fire of 1946, the loss of Air France Flight 007 at Orly Field in Paris in 1962, and a plane crash at Mount Kenya in Africa in 2003, among other incidents.
This is an enlargement of the top central figure of a proposed monumental work of the august American sculptor Frederick Hart titled Heroic Spirit. Hart gifted this maquette to his friend Rodney Mims Cook, Jr. of the National Monuments Foundation with the intention that the proposed 14-foot work of art would be built in his native city of Atlanta. Sadly, he died before this could be realized, and this bust is done by Italian artisans in Vicenza using 3D scanning. Technology is improving in order that this notable work of art can be reproduced to his proposed monumental scale more in keeping with Hart's hand in the near future. Hart is most well known for his gigantic National Cathedral central doorway tympanum and the Vietnam Memorial soldier group at the Maya Lin wall, Senator Richard Russell in the Russell Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill, all in Washington. He also sculpted President Jimmy Carter on the State Capitol Grounds in Atlanta and the Newington Cropsey Museum Archangel at Hastings-on-Hudson, NY.
