After a Chuy-tastic lunch of Tex-Mex viddles, we hoofed it over to the Umlauf Sculpture Garden. While the grounds are not overly impressive and the cost is a tad high for the size of the place, it is still a decent enough stroll. The home of many of Charles Umlauf's sculptures reside here in a tranquil garden setting.
Wikipedia, the true king of all media, has this to say: In 1985, Charles and Angeline Umlauf donated their home, studio, and 168 Umlauf sculptures to the City of Austin. Six years later, in 1991, the city built a museum to display the artwork on adjoining city property with private funds. Volunteers staff and maintain the museum using donated funds, while Austin's Parks and Recreation Department maintains the xeriscaped (fancy pants way of saying they use as little water as possible) garden.
