It is a nice tribute to the way this island has rebound. Fun they are in side yards, next to parking lots, museums. They are lists and maps, catch a look as you drive.

it was nice to find a map for this in the bed and breakfast we stayed at...we almost did not bother, then did it on our last day, fairly early on a Sunday morning. Was a great, east route to follow, very low traffic, so easy to stop and take pictures

Go to the visitor's center on Broadway and get the map so you can drive yourself to see all of the sculptures. They are amazing! It will take about an hour to see all of them, but it is worth spending the time. You will also get a great tour of the beautiful old houses that are in the area.

The Galveston Chamber of commerce has an incorrect address for some of the sculptures. Many of the ones on the west part of town are far apart and not at the address listed. Some of the ones in the north central part of town are in an area that made us uncomfortable to drive in at night. The sculpture on... More
