Sculpture gardens are, in fact, a thing – and I’m so glad they are! It’s amazing to see museum-quality art in the open air.

Ooh, where was the Colorado sculpture garden? I may be visiting Denver this summer and haven’t yet started researching things to do, but I do love to see art outside!

I really need to explore the UK more! And yes I’d love to wander the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. It IS so nice to get some fresh air while appreciating art!

There’s so much to do in Austin – I bet you’ll love it!

The Umlauf Sculpture Garden definitely fits that bill! Thanks for reading Nicole. 🙂

Isn’t it funny how we sometimes have no idea what’s hiding in plain sight in the cities where we live?! I’m constantly finding new things to do in my town too!

Oh, you’ll love Austin, Freya! And I’m with you. I of course love the main attractions in a city but adore finding the hidden gems, and ditto in Austin, TX!

I agree and appreciate when museums have affordable tickets. So worth it to explore the Umlauf Sculpture Garden.

What!!! I didn’t know the bats sometimes didn’t show up. Now I count myself extra lucky to have seen them. Thanks, Sage, for reading my post about the Umlauf Sculpture Garden!

I love the mother-child sculpture too, Yukti. Thank you for reading!

I feel the same way, Patricia: I would have *loved* to see Umlauf work. I wonder if he felt the things his sculptures seem to feel. They’re so expressive.

I know, isn’t it funny what unexpected things you find when you set out to explore off the beaten path gems?!
