A bronze sculpture of The Little Prince at the entrance to the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science, in the heart of Miami.
This project has received the official support of H.E. Mr. Laurent Bili, French Ambassador to the United States. Its honorary committee is co-chaired by Stacy Schiff, Pulitzer Prize winner and author of Antoine de Saint Exupéry: A Biography, and Olivier d’Agay, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s grand-nephew.
The sculpture will be made of bronze and will be life-size, depicting the author Antoine de Saint Exupéry in his pilot’s suit, holding the hand of his character The Little Prince and discussing planets and stars, the human condition, love, and peace. Tourists of all ages from around the world, as well as Miami residents, will be sure to take selfies next to this deeply moving duo, located at the entrance to this world-renowned science museum and planetarium. The sculpture will be donated to the Frost Museum of Science and will remain in place for thirty years.
This project follows the successful installation by The American Society of Le Souvenir Français, Inc. of the Little Prince sculpture in front of Villa Albertine on 5th Avenue in New York City, which was unveiled in September 2023 and has attracted visitors from New York and tourists from around the world. It has since become one of New York City’s most “Instagrammable” photo spots.
