Sculpture parks are one of my favorite places to frolic (other include fields of wildflowers and sandy shores) amidst larger than life imaginative creations under the big ole sky. Sunday was all about road tripping back from New Hampshire, and DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park [51 Sandy Pond Rd, Lincoln, […]

I found myself in a dream world and just thinking about that day makes me giddy. Sculpture parks are one of my favorite places to be because I love art, especially modern art, and being able to run around like a pony in large open fields with fresh air. It’s […]
A small sculpture park where the motif is Mormonism, Gilgal [749 500 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84102] is an interesting sight for visitors. We were driving down a quiet block and blew right by it. I saw zero sign that it existed in what looked like a residential area. […]
Outside the hustle bustle of town on the road leading up to the mountains of New Paltz I always took a second glance passing by an artsy looking place. One particular day I decided to follow stop there and see what it was all about. That place was Unison Sculpture […]
Beauty and creativity, both manmade and natural, Stone Quarry Hill Art Park [3883 Stone Quarry Rd, Cazenovia, NY 13035] is a feast for the eyes. There are four miles of trails to wander, so grab a map and pick your starting place. We began across the street on the Old […]
The integration of art and nature, nothing is more delightful than an outdoor sculpture park! Andres Institute of Art [98 NH-13, Brookline, NH 03033] is the largest outdoor sculpture park in New England, and it is free to visit. There is an excellent trail map in the parking lot which […]
When I told a friend I would be staying in the town of Joshua Tree he said, ‘Why? There’s nothing in the town but the park – stay in Palm Springs instead.’ I was nervous about my decision, had I made a mistake? As it turns out I visited both […]
This isn’t your typical park to hike, sunbathe with your headphones on, or feed the ducks. This is a sculpture park brooding with dark history. Memento Park [Budapest, Balatoni út – Szabadkai utca sarok, 1223 Hungary] isn’t very big. You can walk through it quite quickly if you had to. […]
Rolling fields sprinkled with thought provoking art, the OMI International Arts Center [1405 Co Rte 22, Ghent, NY 12075] in Columbia County’s Ghent is a must see. I never know how to pronounce the name, is it oh-me, or ah-mi, say it however you will – but definitely get there! […]
It has been a long rainy week, but we needed it! The waterfall at Thacher was nonexistent last time I visited. I think this weekend is going to be perfect adventuring weather, so what better fun than visiting a quirky sculpture park? I love me some outside art, and we […]
If you are up for taking a nice cruise down the thruway, I’ve got a place for you to visit. Storm King Art Center is a huge sculpture park with some pretty impressive pieces. This park is set in a natural scene with rolling hills, a creek, and wildflowers. It […]
Maine was such an amazing adventure, so very worthy of a trip. Our plan was to visit Acadia National Park, a fair distance of seven hours from Albany. To break up the trip we stopped in Portland for lunch, the largest city in Maine. We ate at Duckfat, a small […]
I’m a sucker for a good sculpture park. The Circle Museum in Austerlitz has some pretty interesting work strewn about in a gorgeous country setting. Some are very abstract containing everything but the kitchen sink, some are more realistic and look like birds or other things, and most have a […]
