About this audio guide

This guide to the Umlauf Sculpture Garden and Museum in Austin follows sculptor Charles Umlauf, a longtime University of Texas professor who built his home studio here and later gave it to the city with his wife, Angeline. It traces how a garden built for one private family became a place designed for touch, for blind visitors first and then for children hunting sculptures through the trees on free Family Days. Best explored slowly, hand trailing along the bronze as you walk.
