Franklin D. Murphy Sculpture Garden - Garden in Los Angeles - Franklin D. Murphy Sculpture Garden, 245 Charles E Young Dr E, USA

Absolutely wonderful place to spend some time with arts in open air. There are a few dozens of sculptures of different sizes, styles and materials in this little park, and it was a pleasant and exciting experience to walk about and get to know each of them. What I appreciate the garden the most is that somehow the sculptures are nicely integrated in the space, some in the lawn, some in a fountain, some stand alone. It gives me a sense that everything can be art and art is everywhere.

A fascinating mix of artistic expression. While some sculptures are inspiring, some left me perplexed. I noticed some pieces are impressively detailed.

My favorite spot on the UCLA campus! I wanted my 9 year old grandson to fall in love with UCLA, so I drove around the campus after dark on New Years Day.. He wasn't especially interested until we parked (illegally) in the bus turn around and walked over to the Garden. As soon as he saw it he excitedly ran toward it and started exploring. A few people and a couple of dogs were slso enjoying the Garden at night. One of the dogs was joyously running around off leash. Unfortunately we couldn't stay very long due to the parking situation, but I plan to return the next time he visits. Until then my grandson got a taste of the magic of the Sculpture Garden under the stars.

Peatin meetin whisky festival. Great time with lots of peated whisky expressions. Even tried an outstanding Peated Whisky from Canada, Macaloney's Island Distillery...blown away by how delicious it was!!

Very nice and peaceful green area to enjoy many different styles of sculptures. Lots of nooks to sit in shaded areas, ideal to rest, read, meditate or just relax and maybe enjoy a conversation with a friend

I had a relaxing hour or so here reading my book and watching a couple of doggies play and seeing people walking through. The most interesting thing was hearing an owl hooting as it got dark@ Very exciting!!!

An open air museum featuring August Rodin’s Walking Man, a diverse and superb display of stupendous works of art. It has a real fountain, and is a very peaceful place for strolling, running and socializing. As a UCLA alumni, I spent 8 years taking breaks here and breathing in the oxygen, chlorophyll, and taking in the scenery. Lovely place to meditate during this pandemic!

A beautiful corner of the UCLA campus with a dozen or more sculptures (in bronze, steel, aluminum, stone) widely placed across plazas and lawns. A 10-minute walk from Visitor Parking Structure #2.
