On 18 June CERN unveiled an unusual new landmark - a statue of the Indian deity Shiva. The statue is a gift from CERN's Indian collaborators to celebrate CERN's long association with India, which began in the 1960s. The statue was made in India in the traditional style. The original sculpture was a wax model, around which a soil mould was made. Melting the wax left a hollow into which liquid metal was poured, and once cooled the mould was split and the statue polished and given its antique finish.Le 18 juin, le CERN a inauguré un nouvel ouvrage insolite : une statue représentant la divinité indienne Shiva. Cette statue, offerte par les collaborateurs indiens du CERN, honore une collaboration de longue date entre le Laboratoire et l'Inde, qui a débuté dans les années 60. La statue a été réalisée en Inde dans le style traditionnel.
