Florida State University to Immortalize Jim Morrison with Statue Outside Music Department
Tallahassee, FL — Florida State University has announced plans to honor one of its most enigmatic former students, Jim Morrison, by installing a statue outside its School of Music. The tribute will celebrate Morrison’s enduring legacy as the frontman of The Doors and a defining voice of 1960s counterculture.
While Morrison only spent a brief time at FSU before transferring to UCLA, the university recognizes the lasting global impact he made on music, poetry, and performance art. The statue will stand outside the music department as a symbol of artistic rebellion, creativity, and fearless expression—hallmarks of Morrison’s legacy.
“Jim Morrison pushed boundaries in ways few artists dared,” said Dr. Elaine Hart, Dean of the FSU College of Music. “Though his time here was short, his influence on the world of music and art is undeniable—and we’re proud to call him one of our own.”
The statue will depict Morrison in his signature leather pants and open shirt, with a microphone in hand and his gaze cast upward—evoking his theatrical stage presence and deep poetic introspection. A granite pedestal will bear the inscription: “Jim Morrison – Poet, Rebel, Legend.”
Morrison’s time at Florida State was marked by a growing disinterest in conventional academia and a deepening attraction to the arts, philosophy, and performance. Even then, he showed the spark that would later ignite an entire generation.
This tribute has already gained traction among students, alumni, and fans around the country. A fundraising effort will kick off later this year, with the unveiling expected to coincide with the anniversary of Morrison’s birth.
“This is more than a statue,” said FSU President Richard McCullough. “It’s a recognition that art often starts in unexpected places—and that the seeds of greatness can be planted in the most unlikely of classrooms.”
With this statue, FSU not only honors the Lizard King himself but also invites its students to dream beyond boundaries—just as Morrison did.
