Damon said in an interview with the YouTuber Jake Hamilton that an artist wants to add a permanent bronze statue of Williams in the lagoon area of the Garden [in the spot where where they filmed the famous bench scene in Good Will Hunting].

“The idea being that if you feel alone you can go sit next to him, which I think is the coolest idea. It would be like the most beautiful installation and like such a tribute to that guy, who I think would’ve loved that.”

    Then again having a well known figure there would attract more visitors, who would then notice the bench dedication. It’s a question of if William’s tribute would add or take away from that person’s, and the area in general.

      I agree. It’s not like if the gardens were commemorating someone there couldn’t also me other memorials within it. If it’s don’t respectfully, I dont think there should be a issue.
