I had spent the morning at the Iowa State Fair and was headed to my AirBnB. I was a bit early on check in time and had to find something to knock out a little over an hour. I thought I’d visit something from my Des Moines to-do list, the Pappajohn Sculpture Park. (Not related to the pizza guy) This sculpture park, located in downtown Des Moines, is considered one of the most significant collections of outdoor sculptures in the United States.
Some of my favorite sculptures from the park.
There was an entryway into the center of this sculpture of rainbow colored glass. I stood in the center and took a panorama shot. If you look closely…. there is a different color selfie of me in each panel.
I really enjoyed the following two sculptures, especially the one peering around from the back. I like the goofiness and emotion they have that makes me wonder what is going on in their heads. (nothing, they are sculptures!)
