Laumeier Sculpture Park is there because of a woman named Matilda Laumeier. In 1968, she left 72 acres of land to the St. Louis Public in memory of her husband, Henry H. Laumeier. The park was proposed for the use of sculpture in 1975 and has grown immensely since.
The Triangle Over Bridge and Water is meant to serve as a 'conceptual membrane for refracting space and time.'
Johann Feilacher carved his wood sculptures with a chainshaw and Redwood I, shown above, is thought to be the largest contemporary wood sculpture in the world.
The Howl-Along sculpture was built to let dogs show off what they can do serving as a stage for dogs.
