Over the last 50 years, Milton Keynes has developed an excellent reputation for Public Art development, with over 220 Public Artworks across the city.
"Public Art in Milton Keynes is about inviting the vision, creativity, and skills of artists, to engage people freely with the place, in a well-considered way."
A quick short meet to introduce you to some of MK's sometimes forgotten pieces of artwork. The usual chatter and socialising are encouraged.

Willen Labyrinth & The Four Faces - Neil Higson & Tim Minett (1988)
Another piece of landscape architecture, Willen Labyrinth is a turf maze based on an enlarged version of the Saffron Walden Rosicrucian Maze. At its centre is an oak tree and in each of the four lobes is a bronze roundel designed by sculptor Tim Minett. The labyrinth provides a space for quiet contemplation, encouraging individuals to wander along a weaving path to the central space to appreciate the natural world (symbolised by the oak tree).
Tim Minett now retired artist who studied at the Royal College of Art. Neil Higson was the Landscape Architect for Milton Keynes Development Corporation and spearheaded much of the city's beloved landscapes including the Tree Cathedral at Newlands and much of Campbell Park.
