The John and Mary Pappajohn Sculpture Park features artwork by 24 of the world’s most celebrated artists. The 4.4 acre park, located within a major crossroads, creates a pedestrian-friendly entryway to downtown Des Moines. This accessible setting, coupled with the skilled landscape design and caliber of the art, makes it unlike any other sculpture park in the United States. The Pappajohns have contributed 30 works for the park.
