1. Ceremonial Chair

Sculpted out of marble, the ceremonial chair (also called the president’s chair) forms the focal point of Memorial Amphitheater’s lower stage. Its design—featuring decorative scrolls and stylized vines—reflects the neoclassical, Beaux Arts architectural style of the Amphitheater.
