Open to the public since 1976, this 105-acre park blends nature and art about 15 miles west of downtown St. Louis. Visitors can explore multiple trails and view Tony Tasset’s oft-photographed 38-foot-high "Eye," Beverly Pepper’s tent-like "Alpha," Steve Tobin’s "Walking Roots," Donald Judd’s concrete "Untitled" (1984), the site-specific "Laumeier Project" by Jackie Ferrara, and multiple works by Ernest Trova, whose initial donation of 40 works helped get the museum started.

Opened by the Seattle Art Museum in 2007 at a former industrial site along the Elliott Bay waterfront, this 9-acre park is now the largest green space in the city. Views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains provide a stunning backdrop for the 20 artworks. Visitors can meander the zigzag path and see pieces by Louise Nevelson, Ginny Ruffner, Roy McMakin, Ellsworth Kelly, Mark di Suvero, and one of Jaume Plensa’s enormous heads, this one modeled on a 9-year-old girl.
