Outdoor sculpture and monuments tell the story of our nation's art and history that
everyone can enjoy, every day. They are highly visible focal points which, when well cared
for, help create a healthy, vibrant sense of community. Americans build monuments in
marble, bronze, granite, steel, as if to say: let our heroes, our spirit, our ideals never
be forgotten. America's collection of public sculpture and monuments is rich and diverse.
Much of it is responsibly cared for.
