Absolutely wonderful place to spend some time with arts in open air. There are a few dozens of sculptures of different sizes, styles and materials in this little park, and it was a pleasant and exciting experience to walk about and get to know each of them. What I appreciate the garden the most is that somehow the sculptures are nicely integrated in the space, some in the lawn, some in a fountain, some stand alone. It gives me a sense that everything can be art and art is everywhere.

A few people and a couple of dogs were slso enjoying the Garden at night. One of the dogs was joyously running around off leash. Unfortunately we couldn't stay very long due to the parking situation, but I plan to return the next time he visits. Until then my grandson got a taste of the magic of the Sculpture Garden...

The sculpture garden at UCLA is a small park-like area situated at the North-East end of the campus in between Bunche Hall, the Young Research Library, the Broad Art Center, Macgowan Hall, and the Luskin School of Public Affairs. It's mostly grass with some concrete paths meandering through, and a scattering of sculptures in various media. There are a few (very few) benches. Not much to see, but it's...
