It is in the courtyard garden, set on a slender baluster pedestal with square capital and plinth, from the old London Bridge which was re-built by Sir Christopher Wren after the Great Fire of London. This bridge was replaced in 1831 and demolished the following year, and the stone baluster was presented to the museum by Alderman James Curtis, an uncle of the museum’s founder.
