Sculpture Trails

KNOWLEDGE
Milton Keynes has one of the largest collections of public artworks in the country. You walk past it every day. Perhaps you are familiar with the Black Horse outside Lloyds Bank and Liz Leyh's infamous Concrete Cows, now a permanent feature in Oak Court. But have you noticed the Paparazzi stalking the Theatre district, or Philomena Davis' flight-themed works amidst the Planters in Silbury Arcade?
There are over 36 artworks in the city centre alone, many of which were purchased or commissioned from some of the most influential sculptors of the past 30 years.
They are everywhere, open all the time and admission is free.

DESIGN
This impressive collection of public sculpture plays hide and seek amongst the unique architecture, busy shopping centres and tranquil open spaces of Central Milton Keynes. Much of which are well placed responses to the surrounding environment and intended to interact with the viewer. It's all for you.

UNDERSTANDING
The great thing about public art, is that it doesn't ask to be understood, only to be encountered. These bronze landmarks withstand the passage of time and the fury of the elements. They are not behind ropes. There is not a time limit for how long you look at them. The new city is both their audience and their stage . Whether you are an executive gazing upon Wendy Taylor's Octo in your lunch hour, or a pre-schooler climbing Andre Wallace's The Whisper on your way to the library. They belong to you. This is your city, and these are your artworks.
