The entrance dome at East 47th Street near Second Avenue provides a vista to the United Nations,
framing a view of the UN statue, Saint George Slaying the Dragon, a gift from the Soviet Union.
Steps lead to a raised platform where public sculpture is frequently exhibited.
Notice the bronze turtle in the fountain, a symbolic tribute to Turtle Bay.
