New Guinea Sculpture Garden - Stanford, CA - Sculpture Gardens on Waymarking.com

During the summer of 1994, 10 master carvers from Papua New Guinea worked in residence to create a permanent outdoor sculpture garden of New Guinea Art at Stanford University. The garden contains wood and stone carvings of people, animals, and magical beings that illustrate clan stories and creation myths. The project is not an attempt to recreate a traditional New Guinea environment but, according to Project Director Jim Mason, "an opportunity to experiment with and reinterpret New Guinea aesthetic perspectives within the new context of a Western public art space."

Tours are on the Third Sunday of the month at 2 pm, rain or shine.
