Campus Sculptures
The University Art Galleries Department is responsible for the care and stewardship of the public art on the Texas A&M University campus.
The public art collection exposes students to works of art that inspire and install a lifelong appreciation for the value and impact of the visual arts in enhancing education, stimulating reflection, promoting cultural enrichment, attracting interest and attention, and improving the intellectual and visual environments of the university.
