Several
paths take you through the garden to discover over 130
sculptures by Charles Umlauf, an internationally
recognized sculptor. Sculptures range from detailed
realism to lyrical abstractions. Family groups, animals,
religious and mythological figures, and nudes are
featured in the collection. The figures are crafted from
wood, terra cotta, stone, bronze, and marble. This serene
and shady spot is wonderful for escaping the Austin
summer heat while still communing with nature and art.
A stream runs
through the garden, forming small pools at various spots.
Both the museum and the garden are accessible to people
with disabilities.
A fun and
educational way of taking a walk while experiencing a
little Texas history at the same time. The century-old
Texas Capitol has long been recognized for the beauty of
its grounds.
From the earliest
plantings, an effort has been made to display a diverse
variety of native and exotic trees adapted to Texas. This
small forest, while serving its traditional landscape
functions, also acts as a useful arboretum for teaching,
research, and observation.
