Clock of Nations at Rochester Airport

Midtown Plaza was well-known for its Clock of Nations designed by Geri Kavanaugh. The clock, which represents 12 nations, has 12 cylinders each with a scene with puppets for each nation. Considered a significant piece of art when it was unveiled, the original puppetry was not well maintained and was replaced in the mid-70's with the work of a local housewife. The clock has been temporarily moved to the Greater Rochester International Airport terminal, before it moves to a permanent home at Golisano Children's Hospital at Strong Memorial Hospital following completion of that facility's expansion.
