Directions: From Location #2, continue to walk into the Banana Factory courtyard. The next stop is a trio of sculptures close to the entrance of the courtyard.  Title: Homage to Humanity Artist: Karel Mikolas Date Created: 2003 Medium: Stone Location: 25 W. 3rd Street In 2003, Lehigh County sculptor Karel Mikolas  created Homage to Humanity as an entry to the Banana Factory’s first outdoor sculpture competition. Any artist aged 18 years or older who lived within 100 miles of Bethlehem could enter the competition. Mikolas's sculpture was selected as the winner out of three finalists who went before a jury. This composition consists of three figures described as the Muse, the Average Citizen, and the Disengaged.  The Muse has inspired creativity over the centuries. Although she has endured continuous abuse, she remains intact, powerful, always able to inspire anyone who is interested in purposeful life and humanity. The average citizen, is puzzled by her indomitable ability. The third figure is disengaged from the world around her.
