    This pensive sculpture was bombed and is now left contemplating its missing feet. Luckily, about 20 more copies exist, of which another one was also badly damaged in 2007. Where do you think this bombed sculpture is?

    		Well, peasy "thinks" this could be a copy of Rodin's masterpiece displayed at the Cleveland Museum of Art. This particular cast of the 'Thinker' was damaged in a bombing in 1970 whilst in 2007 the one in the Netherlands was harmed by thieves.

    		Yes !

    Below is a picture of the poor " Thinker " missing its feet. It was decided not to repair or order a new casting to replace the damaged sculpture.
