The Sculpture Park features significant works of art within a variety of natural settings connected by waterways, meandering paths and quiet walkways. The work of over 30 renowned sculptors such as Auguste Rodin, Aristide Maillol, Jacques Lipchitz, Henry Moore, Louise Nevelson, Mark di Suvero, Magdalena Abakanowicz, George Rickey, Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, Juan Munoz, Hanneke Beaumont, Louise Bourgeois and Mimmo Paladino are featured. Within the Sculpture Park’s 30+ acres is the most comprehensive collection of outdoor sculpture within the Midwest. This open-air museum was originally dedicated in 2002 with 25 pieces, but the space allows for a total of approximately 80 sculptures to eventually be added over time. There is a special element of discovery that permeates the park-you can view the sculpture in and through meadows and trees, valleys and hills from many different vantage points. The Sculpture Park includes a family friendly accessible fine arts experience and adults and families can experience through a variety of tour options: guided tram tours, adult guided walking tours (special dates and times) and self-guided audio tours.
