The Gossips is located on the east side of the University of Oklahoma Carnegie Bldg, and NW of Buchanan Hall. It is a detailed sculpture of three women, standing huddled together, "gossiping". They are all in period costumes with hats, and their stance indicates a very interesting conversation is going on! You can help but want to get closer and hear what they are talking about.
The ladies are standing on a granite base approximately 2 ft. x 2 ft. on a corner of the walkways between buildings.
