Academic in art, architecture and design, Dr Monique Webber will take us on a walk through the Fitzroy Gardens.  She will explain exactly where some of the old statues stood and will identify which statues stood where and why they were chosen for those particular sites.  Her talk will reveal much about the culture of nineteenth century Melbourne.  Finally she will solve the mystery of how it came about that the statues were removed almost overnight and what happened to them.
