Evanston Insider

You don’t have to be a student to enjoy the Evanston IL Northwestern University outdoor sculpture garden. The Northwestern University sculpture garden beats out the McCormick sculpture park on so many levels. First off, a visit to the Northwestern garden is NOT like a walk on the shoulder of an interstate highway. Secondly, the Northwestern sculpture garden does NOT lead you past a sewage treatment plant on a noxious death march onwards and onwards!

Thirdly, the Evanston IL Northwestern sculpture park puts on special exhibits, making each visit to the garden a new experience. This Evanston IL summer hosts the Modernist Sculpture Exhibit, featuring Hans Arp, Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore, Alexander Calder, Lynn Chadwick, Alberto Giacometti, Jacques Lipchitz, Joan Miró, Elie Nadelman, and Arnaldo Pomodoro. Check out this picture from the Northwestern site:

The exhibit runs until August 27, 2006, at the Evanston IL Northwestern University sculpture park.
