When Tim photographed this figure in front of the Organization of American States building on Constitution Avenue (below, previous picture), we thought it was a race car driver due to the building’s proximity to the America 250 Grand Prix track, but we went for a closer look today and turns out it’s a massive 23-foot (seven-meter) tall astronaut sculpture titled “Serve the Flag” by artist Brendan Murphy. The piece is part of the "Passport to Patriotism: 250 Years of Diplomacy" exhibition and is on display at the OAS Art Museum of the Americas.
