What) The Olympic Sculpture Park consists of a 9-acre (36,000 m2) outdoor sculpture museum and beach. The park was designed by Weiss/Manfredi Architects, along with Charles Anderson Landscape Architecture and other consultants. It is situated at the northern end of the Seattle seawall and the southern end of Myrtle Edwards Park. The former industrial site was occupied by the oil and gas corporation Unocal until the 1970s and subsequently became a contaminated brownfield before the Seattle Art Museum proposed to transform the area into one of the only green spaces in Downtown Seattle. As a free-admission public outdoor sculpture park with both permanent and visiting installations, it is a unique institution in the United States. (1)

    Why) This is the second place that I visited on my one day off from bridge.


























I did not find the entrance to the park until I was ready to leave but I thought you should see it before you entered.







The side I entered from featured this rather unusual sight.






There weren't that many sculptures to see but I did like this one by Beverly Pepper called Perre's Ventaglio III.







I also took a picture of Typewriter Eraser, Scale X by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen but I only did that so ....
