[Wyverns as Acroteria: Guardians of the Old Red Museum]
Description:
Four magnificent terra cotta creatures, shaped like wyverns with two legs, wings, and spiny backs, grace the rooftop of the Old Red Museum. These mythical beings, known as acroteria, stand as guardians, overlooking the historic building and its rich history. While two of these awe-inspiring figures are original, the other two were meticulously reconstructed during the restoration process in the 2000s, preserving their significance in the museum's captivating architecture.
