The Nathan Manilow Sculpture Park is a collection of 34 master works of large-scale sculpture situated within 100 acres of prairie landscape. This “museum in the prairie” is open for public viewing 365 days a year and is free of charge. The Park provides programs for adults and children that integrate art and nature. Although it is located on the campus of Governors State University, it was founded and is maintained through grants and donations from businesses and individuals.
