Hello!

Sculptor - "the Sculptor's Studio", is another relatively recent 'modern' constellation, one of several invented by Nicolas de Lacaille in 1751 to fill in some of the open areas between the major 'classical' constellations.
None of Sculptor's obscure dim stars have proper names, and there are no legends associated with this constellation.
