The famous bust of Sir Henry Wood, by Donald Gilbert, unveiled in 1938 by Sir Walford Davies as part of the celebration of Wood's fifty years as a conductor. Henry Wood founded the Proms series in 1895, conducting most of the early concerts himself. It is displayed each year under the organ during the BBC Proms summer season in the Royal Albert Hall, and spends the rest of its time in a niche in the Duke's Hall, Royal Academy of Music, where Wood was also a professor.
