Westby Sculpture Walk

Throughout the Philbrook gardens and along the system of paths on the grounds are sculptural works representing an international roster of artists. Locations are numbered on the map guide. The Westby Sculpture Walk honors Katie Westby, a champion of public art who underwrote the museum’s original sculpture garden. The sculptures found on Philbrook's gardens and grounds extends exhibitions and programs beyond the museum walls, transforming the landscape itself into a stunning gallery.
