The sculptures are installed in a beautiful site amongst meandering footpaths and pedestrian bridges, reflecting lagoons, Spanish moss laden live oak trees, mature pines and magnolias and camellias. The beloved Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden has reopened to the eager citizens of New Orleans. The public is once again able to relax and walk along the meandering footpaths in the Garden, which is home to fifty-three sculptures. Well worth a drive on a lazy afternoon.
