In front of the "Tesla Pub" in Sarajevo is a life-size statue of Nikola Tesla. He is sitting on a chair and seems to think about his genius ideas. In his left hand he is holding a working light bulb. An information sign informs about the genius inventorin two languages:
Nikola Tesla was born on July 10, 1856 in croatian Lika, but he spent almost all of his life in America. He graduated Senior Technical School in Graz, and received first employment at Maribor as auxiliary engineer. He worked all around Europe, and graduated College in Paris. Since 1884 he worked at Edison Laboratory in New York for a short while.
Tesla is known for the discovery of multiphase electric power, wireless power transmission and radio signals. Although he was not appreciated as much as he deserved during his life, his name today is respected. Many books are written and many documentaries are recorded about him.
Nikola Tesla died in New York on january 7. 1943. at the age of 87.
The sculpture of Nikola Tesla is the work of sculptor Damir Šabic, who made it thanks to the initiative and idea of Tesla pub owners brothers Stojnic.
There are internet photos of the statue IN the pub, so maybe they take it inside the pub when there is bad weather or over night.
