Fountain of the Wind - Duluth, MN - Smithsonian Art Inventory Sculptures on Waymarking.com

Fountain of the Wind, a sculpture by Douglas Freeman located in Canal Park, Duluth, MN.

This sculpture of bronze,stainless steel and glass is a whimsical yet allegory of Lake Superior. The fountain with multiple cascading waterfalls represents the rivers and tributaries to Lake Superior, lake sturgeon, lighthouses, paved walking stones and more. Everyone enjoys watching the spouting water from the sturgeons, the lights, the variety of waterfalls and walking the paved stones. It is a cool respite in the heart of the downtown tourist area.

There is a plaque by the fountain that illustrates the artist's conception of the work.

Nearby are restaurants, shopping, the harbor and Lake, shipping traffic, upscale hotels and more. This work of art truly fits the area and is a fun place to sit on the bench and watch the water fall.
