The bronze bust of Albert Einstein is installed in Mexico City's Parque México, in Mexico. The head was sculpted by Tosia Malamud, a Mexican artist whose family emigrated from Ukraine in 1927.[1] The sculpture commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Armenian genocide.[2] The statue seems to have been donated by Mexico City's Jewish community.[3][4]

The commemorative plaque on the front of the statue, which dates to the centennial of the Armenian genocide in 2015, reads: "If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to a person or an object."[5] The purple flower, a Forget-Me-Not, on the plaque was the logo of the centenary.

Other casts of Malamud's sculpted head of Einstein appear around in the world, such as at Tel Aviv University.[6]
