Not your typical art museum.

This was definitely worth the price of admission (free)! There is a box for donations. Certainly not everyone's cup of tea, but I enjoyed most of the pieces. The giant tinker-toy was neat, and there are many other pieces that use old rusted equipment and...More

Fun unique place to visit!

This is a fun place to visit, only takes about 20-30 minutes. A man has been building art out of junk in his backyard for 40 years. His pieces are unique and fun to see.

Enjoyed seeing the various pieces at this sculpture park. The area was well mowed but the mosquitos were very bad and left with quite a few bites. It would have been helpful to have more information available about the various pieces that we were able...More

What a surprise

This was such a welcome surprise. We drove down the road and parked the car. Then we just wandered about. There were so many wonderful, imaginative metal sculptures. We loved it.

A hidden gem!

If you like outdoor art this is the place! Many sculptures to see, a bit quirky but worth the 5 minute drive from town. Lots trails with art, wear walking shoes!

Unusual

I'm not too much of a metal sculpture person but this was interesting and right in Galena. Gentleman makes sculptures out of old parts.
