The Woodlands Outdoor Sculptures
"If I have seen farther, it is because I have stood on the
shoulders of giants"
Quote by Sir Isaac Newton
| "Tony,
We all had a great time yesterday. Lots of fun and we could
hear every interesting word even during rush hour and high winds.
Thank you!"
A tour of 8 taken on Monday, April 4th |

From the moment I saw, "On the Shoulders of Giants" by Robert Cook, it has been my goal to contribute something that would build an awareness and appreciation for each and every outdoor sculpture that resides in The Woodlands, Texas area.
 |
"The tours
conducted by Tony Motto are informative, well-run, and entertaining.
Tony is very knowledgeable and humorous. Members of the Fine Arts
Council have participated in two 'Sculp-Tours' with Tony. The tours
are a wonderful and comfortable way to learn about the uniqueness of
the Woodlands through the many beautiful outdoor sculptures that we
often fail to notice in our travels around the area. Tony's passion
for the arts is evident in his enthusiasm." |
The Woodlands outdoor sculptures collection is one of the largest collections of outdoor sculptures for a community of its size in the continental United States. There are numerous unique sculptures situated throughout The Woodlands area. It is my pleasure to present this massive collection of artwork here in a virtual tour format.
This website will be a success if it motivates people to search for these wonderful sculptures in their natural settings. Take a moment from the quick-paced lives we are forced into and treasure the beauty that stands literally at your backdoor.
