Testimonial

In doing my due diligence for an appropriate MBA programme, I was excited to see that the U of L MBA programme was geared towards entrepreneurship and decided on it right away. There are other “General” MBA programmes out there which in my review were “paper” qualifications, therefore I was looking for one with real-life application and I found it. I am really pleased to see that Aventis are going to offer the program in Singapore. The most challenging but invigorating parts of the programme were the modules on creative thinking, venture creation, business plan writing and the business plan presentation to VCs and angels. I realized that this MBA truly teaches you the tools to become a great entrepreneur. Now, almost 5 years after my MBA, I have actually launched my own business!

The Thinker. The Real Deal

Art lover Arthur Hopkins, which bought it for the city of Louisville. The city decided to put The Thinker at UofL. He has sat in front of Grawemeyer Hall since 1949.

Rodin’s Thinker goes way back.

Many art historians consider The Thinker to be the most famous sculpture in the world. The origins of The Thinker date to 1880 when the French government commissioned Rodin to create a gate for a planned museum in Paris. He found inspiration in Michelangelo's depiction of Hell in the Sistine Chapel paintings and in Dante's epic poem "The Inferno" and created a prototype for a massive gate he called The Gates of Hell. A man he called The Poet sat atop the gate, contemplating the condemned souls below. Rodin refined the design over the next 20 years, even though Paris never built the museum.
