I can't think of too many museums I enjoy in Austin more than the Umlauf Sculpture Gardens. The people that work there are wonderful and the sculptures are amazing. I did a film there and the woman that ran the place was extremely helpful, and I couldn't have asked for a better setting. They have over 130 sculptures from a Skater Statue resembling Peggy Fleming to a lyrical high concept Icarus falling as his wings unglue from the sun. It is the perfect place to walk and be inspired. PROS: Amazing Sculptures in a great setting CONS:

The Umlauf Sculpture Garden is a meditative sanctuary from the busy life of Austin. Nestled between Barton Springs Rd. & Robert E. Lee, it is a shady, cozy nook worth exploring. My family and I went recently (for the first time) on the day of my dog's passing, and it was very peaceful. With all the trees, ponds, and waterlilies; not to mention the sculptures capturing such emotions as spirituality, defeat, sadness, despair, and indescribable beauty...I couldn't help but to feel introspective and thoughtful walking within the garden. I took awesome photos, and the way the sunlight would shower some of the pieces was down-right awe-inspiring. I highly recommend the Umlauf Sculpture Garden to both the sensitive art-lover, but also to anyone who wishes to steal a few moments of quietness from this chaotic world. Pros: Mellow, Inexpensive, self-giuded tours Cons: closes too early

I not only like the very convenient location of this place, but the beauty within as well. It's a nice place for a first date, when you just want to chat and get to know each other in a calm setting.
