How to find Twain
January 12th, 2007After a visit to the Pulitzer and a walk-through the sculpture Joe, do you have a hankerin’ for more? Well, lucky for you, there’s another sculpture by Serra just a short distance down the street from us. Twain was installed in 1982 on a downtown St. Louis block. It consists of 8 slabs of steel, each weighing 20 tons. Walking around Twain is a dramatically different experience from Joe. In fact, that could make a great future blog entry — to have someone who’s never been to either sculpture visit both and compare/contrast
So if you’re curious, here’s how you get there from the Pulitzer:
Head east on Washington Boulevard, towards N. Grand Boulevard
Turn right on N. Grand Boulevard
Turn left onto Olive Street
Turn right onto N. 10th Street
Here’s an aerial view of the sculpture, courtesy of Google maps (click to enlarge).
See what you think of it for yourself and let me know!
