Art: Cullen Sculpture Garden

Montrose Blvd & Bissonnet St

Across the street from MFAH houses an outdoor sculpture garden that is positively peaceful and serene. It would be a great place to have a picnic but I don't think that is allowed since it's still considered museum territory and we need to be respectful of the property. The pictures are a bit bland seeing that there were so many pieces and I simply did not have the stamina to focus on each artwork for as long as I would have liked to. I will mos def be going back for a visit so that I can work on capturing the perfect and unique shot of some of the sculptures. Seattle also has an outdoor sculpture park which is one of the places that I am looking foward to seeing the most. I took photos of most of the sculptures but I may have skipped a few. Enjoy!
