Directions

The Olympic Sculpture Park is the Seattle Art Museum's free nine-acre outdoor park on the downtown waterfront, where a zigzagging path descends past monumental works like Richard Serra's rusted steel and Alexander Calder's red Eagle toward Puget Sound. It links to the Elliott Bay Trail and frames views of the water and the Olympic Mountains. It is open daily and free year-round, though it is exposed and can be windy and wet, so pick a clear day for the best experience.
