This obscure work of art by noted sculptor Frank Hayden celebrates education (notice the hands holding books).It used to be on display in the (demolished) Education Building, just outside the office of the Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education.Today, barely noticed outside the Claiborne Building, it is nearly covered by vegetation and exposed to the elements.
Thumb
A half-dozen buildings were constructed within a few blocks of the Capitol Building toward the end of former Gov. Mike Foster’s second term. Claiborne Building was one of them and now houses the Department of Education. The old Department of Education building was imploded and a new building built on the site that now houses the Department of Health and Hospitals.

The department is headed by a superintendent, currently Cade Brumley.[4]
