Umlauf Sculpture Gardens

009
   Charles Umlauf , a sculptor and teacher at the University of Texas, donated his home, studio, and many sculptures to the city of Austin. Forty nine of the sculptures are located along the paths of this  small garden.

   The garden is partially wheelchair accessible. The paths are surfaced with crushed stoned which is loose and uneven in spots. The upper section is accessed by steps only. The sculptures have been waxed so they may be touched without damaging the patina.

  The parking lot is very small. RVs can be parked across the street, adjacent to the ball fields. The cross cuts are good and there is a marked pedestrian crosswalk but keep in mind that Texan motorists rarely stop for people in a crosswalk. Garden
