Last Thursday marked thirty years since the Sculpture Garden opened, so I thought it would be fitting to dig up a photo from thirty years ago and compare. I am amazed by how much the trees have grown, almost completely blocking out downtown and shading visitors from the Texas sun.

Sculpture Garden with its first visitors on opening day, October 10, 1983. The garden opened a few months before the Museum.
