Nyenhuis Sculpture Garden

 The Nyenhuis Sculpture Garden was established by a gift from former 换妻社区 professor and provost Jack Nyenhuis and his wife Lee as part of the Kruizenga Art Museum fundraising campaign. The garden was originally conceived as a way to further beautify the campus and extend the museum鈥檚 educational impact beyond its walls. Although the nucleus of the Nyenhuis Sculpture Garden is concentrated around the Kruizenga Art Museum, the eventual goal is to place additional sculptures near other buildings to create a network of public art that stretches across the entire 换妻社区 campus. The Nyenhuis Sculpture Garden was formally dedicated on October 14, 2017.
