| MORE AUDIO FILES UNDER CONSTRUCTION |
We are pleased to offer self-guided audio tours for those who cannot attend our regularly scheduled public tours. These
audio files provide much of the same information that is given during the live tours with Institute-trained guides. Aside
from basic details such as a sculpture’s title, year and theme of symposium, the artist’s name and country, the audio
commentary might explore the artist’s vision for the work, a vignette about the setting or installation, an interesting
anecdote about the artist’s background or events that may have inspired the sculpture’s design. We hope that by
listening to the commentary as each sculpture is viewed, visitors will have a more rewarding experience and come away
with a deeper appreciation of the art and what it says to them.
Instructions:
First print a copy of our trail map (available in PDF format here) to plan which trails and works you’d like to see, then find
the audio files for those works below and click the icon to download them to your computer. You can transfer them to
any portable MP3 device to take with you when you visit the Sculpture Park. As you arrive at a given sculpture along the
trail, simply call up its audio file on your MP3 device and listen to the commentary. (The files are grouped by trail). You
can also print out a copy of the text (see printable text link for each trail).
