The Domain, The Offerings of Peace

“The Offerings of Peace” is a large bronze sculpture which sits outside the Art Gallery of New South Wales, in The Domain. It is paired up with a sculpture on the other side of the main entrance called “The Offerings of War”. Both are the work of the English sculptor Gilbert Bayes and completed in 1923.
