The sculpture garden is the result of 30 years work by Romano Gabriel. The artwork, crafted from vegetable crates, originally filled his 30’ X 60’ front yard, almost blocking the view of his house. When Romano died the art was bought by the Vellutini family and donated to the city. It is now installed behind glass on 2nd Street in Old Town Eureka. Glare on the glass makes it hard to see all of the sculptures. It does not seem like all of the sculptures are on view but there’s no mention of more in storage.
The garden is accessible.
Parking is available on the street. Garden 40.80428, -124.16836
Can you go inside? Is it free? Seems weird.
ReplyDeleteIt's free but it's just a display window built special for the artwork so you can't go inside. I think Eureka might be the original "keep it weird" town. :-D
