'Witness' 2004 by Dadang Christanto

ANU is privileged to be custodian of one of the nation's finest art collections. This collection includes outdoor sculpture which is located throughout the University’s campus.

Around four times each year we proudly host a guided walking tour of the ANU Sculpture Walk. The tour is led by HRC’s Emeritus Professor David Williams, whose esteemed career included, amongst other things, being Director of the ANU School of Art from 1985 to 2006.

This tour has long provided inspiration and interest as well as historical context about the ANU campus for our visitors and fellows, as well as our students.

For example, the wonderful StoryMap developed by Ting Wang, an Honours student at HRC partner, Centre for Digital Humanities Research, with supervision and continuing support from Dr Katrina Grant, HRC Associate and Senior Lecturer in the Centre for Digital Humanities Research, and featuring Professor Williams was created about the collection and tour.

Dates of tours are included on our Upcoming Events calendar.

Any queries, or requests for special booked tours, can be sent to hrc@anu.edu.au.

A brochure about the Sculpture Walk can also be downloaded to support self-guided tours.
