800.735.2966 to let
us know if there is an
accommodation that
would make a program
accessible to you or
your family.
In 2009, Laumeier
partnered with Lighthouse
for the Blind-St. Louis to
develop a series of bronze
maquettes (cast scale
models) for several
artworks in the Permanent
Collection, including a
topographic orientation
map of the Park, to help
visitors with sight
impairments navigate and
enjoy the artworks in
the Outdoor Galleries.

the Outdoor Galleries
