Anderson Sculpture Garden

The Elizabeth and Byron Anderson Sculpture Garden wraps around and betwee historic Morrill and Beardshear Halls. Shaded by flowering greenery, winding footpaths lined with perennials and shrubs take visitors through works of primarily American twentieth and twenty-first century sculpture. Ranging in size and material, this collection of artwork represents the diverse character of modern and contemporary sculpture in a natural, accessible setting.
