In the SCULPTURE GARDEN
The Sculpture Garden was designed by Dallas-based
landscape architect Mahlon Perry and is noted for its dramatic
curved walls, large reflecting pool, a water wall, graceful
landscaping and grassy areas for sculpture placement. The

Larry Whiteley, David Hayes and Eliseo Garcia and two sculptures
from the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden by American
artist Reuben Nakian. Permanent installations include the
majestic granite Fountain Columns by Jesús Moroles,

Centennial Mural mosaic and the recently donated sculpture
