As the second most photographed spot in Pennsylvania (behind the Liberty Bell), the shrine has become part of the Penn State tradition for generations of students. And with that tradition comes a compelling history.
Like Old Main’s Land Grant Frescoes, the shrine was originally conceptualized during the Great Depression in order to encourage public art and boost morale, according to Jackie Esposito, a special projects librarian at Penn State.
