Labyrinth Garden Earth Sculpture in Regner Park
Regner Park is one of the most
beautiful parks in Wisconsin,
and at the center of this idyllic
place is a unique work of living
art. The Labyrinth Garden Earth
Sculpture is 90 feet in diameter and
consists of carefully planted bulbs,
perennials, herbs and annuals.
These plants combine to create
seven circuits which are designed
for you to follow to the center of
the labyrinth. Walk the labyrinth
and discover the quiet side of the
Wisconsin Frame of Mind.
West Bend Art Museum
There’s no better place to get a sense of the Wisconsin Frame of Mind than
the West Bend Art Museum. The West Bend Art Museum exhibits the
largest collection of Wisconsin art assembled anywhere. The museum also
features the unique Zinn Doll House, built by Walter Zinn between 1911
and 1957 as a gift to his daughter. The museum also houses the world’s
largest collection of works by Milwaukee-born, Munich-trained painter
Carl Von Marr, one of Wisconsin’s greatest painters.
West Bend Sculpture Walk
Located along the Milwaukee River, the West Bend Sculpture Walk is an
outdoor gallery of art that extends along the city’s beautiful Riverwalk. Over
20 sculptures await you as you stroll along this beautiful trail. Enjoy modern
and traditional pieces in an outdoor environment. The combination of
waterscapes and woodlands makes for a stimulating setting for enjoying art and
demonstrates West Bend’s commitment of integrating art into the daily life of
the community.
Old Courthouse Museum
The Old Courthouse Museum is one of the finest local history museums in
the Midwest. The building itself is a magnificent artistic work, with its red
brick and spires that rise above West Bend’s skyline. Inside the museum,
you’ll find extensive displays on local West Bend business and industry,
early settlers, family and social and cultural life. The nearby Old Jailhouse
Museum displays an authentic 1800s jailhouse and is a space unique in its
architecture and use.
