The bust was deposited at the Athenaeum in November of 1814 with several other plaster castings by the sculptor. When moving out of the American Philosophical Society (where the Athenaeum had been renting rooms) and into their own new building in 1847, the Athenaeum for some reason left the bust of Minerva behind. It was finally returned to the Athenaeum in 1961.]]>
