Washington National Cathedral: The Creation Sculptures (Ex Nihilo Tympanum) by Frederick Hart in Washington, D.C. by Frederick E Hart

The Creation Sculptures (Ex Nihilo Tympanum) by Frederick Hart are limestone reliefs on the west facade of the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. They artistically represent the theme of creation from nothingness. Located at Massachusetts and Wisconsin Avenues NW, these sculptures are part of the cathedral's rich artistic and spiritual heritage. The work is accessible via the nearby Woodley Park-Zoo/Adams Morgan Metro station.
