In 1892, European sculptor Elisabet Ney (1833-1907) began construction of a distinctive limestone castellated structure in Austin, Texas. In this studio, christened “Formosa,” Ney would sculpt legendary Texans and other personalities. She also assembled a remarkable collection of sculptures that she had created as a bold and charismatic young Berliner years before, including representations of notables like Jacob Grimm, Arthur Schopenhauer and Giuseppe Garibaldi. Extraordinary works that combine elements of Romantic and Neoclassical inspiration, produced with the support of her close friend and patron King Ludwig II, also reside here. Her Texas works—made at Formosa—include iconic representations of Sam Houston, Stephen F. Austin, and more. The plaster “drafts” of these works live here, while their marble companions are located in sites all over Texas and at the Smithsonian and the National Statuary Hall in Washington, D.C.. This is a great place to visit anytime of the year and right across the road you can swim for free in the summer time. Enjoy a walk around the park after you find this cache and look out for the muggles. Small mint container that will fit small treasure swaps and has a log. BYOP and good luck.
