is a minor southern
Constellation which was introduced by
Nicolas Louis De Lacaille . He originally named it after a sculptor's studio, but the name was later shortened.
Sculptor contains the south galactic pole.
It also contains the Sculptor System (the
Sculptor Dwarf ), a
Dwarf Galaxy which is a member of the
Local Group ; and the
Sculptor Group {Link without Title} , the group of galaxies closest to the Local Group.
As it was introduced during the 17th century, there is no mythology associated with it.
