The Museum Administration in Glasgow cannot locate a sculpture of world fame artist Auguste Rodinwhose value is said to be three million pounds.

The work is a plaster version of the sculpture “Les Bourgeois de Calais” which was bought in 1901, according to the BBC.

However, the sculpture is among nearly 1,750 items currently reported as lost or stolen.

The organization that runs the city’s Museums of Scotland said the work was known to have been damaged after it went on display after World War II. Glasgow Life has confirmed that the sculpture is currently listed as ‘unlocated’.

Rodin was allowed by French law to create different versions of “Les Bourgeois” in plaster and brass. A life-size version of the sculpture is prominently displayed in the gardens of the Houses of Parliament in London. The sculpture depicts the plight of the inhabitants of the French port during an 11-month siege by the English during the Hundred Years’ War.

The loss was described as “disgraceful” by the Comite Rodin organization based in Paris, which maintains a catalog of the artist’s works around the world.

Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) is considered a harbinger of modern sculpture and is best known for his work “The Thinker”.
