The Olympic Sculpture Park opened in 2007 as a collaborative effort between the Seattle Art Museum and the Trust for Public Land. This sculpture park was an effort to preserve the very last piece of undeveloped land on Seattle's waterfront. Not only was a wonderful piece of nature preserved in an otherwise constantly developing city, but the expanse is now the prize of the community.
See the Typewriter Eraser by Claes Oldenburg or Scale X by Coosje van Bruggen, all framed by the backdrop of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. It is a wonderful mingling between art and nature, all in the centre of an urban hub.
