Have fun looking at these sculptures and the areas where they are located. Nearby each location are several other caches that may need your attention including my Statues Tour and Wags series. A HINT: Sculptures Tour and Statues Tour visit many of the same places. Look carefully at the cords. One of the sites is well worth the time to visit the museum, house and grounds. The final is also a museum and worth the educational walk thru the property and a visit to the museum. Look at the websites listed below and you will see what I mean.
At the final location, be careful of muggles. As always, park legally and be respectful of the area..
