Opening this week-end in Des Moines is a free, outdoor sculpture park that is named for the benefactors behind the project. John Pappajohn is not the pizza maker of Papa Johns, rather he is a successful, Iowa entrepreneur who continues to find ways to give back to Iowa. He and his wife chose and bought many of the pieces and donated them to the park.
The park is on the western edge of downtown and is free and open to the public all day and night until midnight. You can check out the DesMoines Register site: desmoinesregister.com/pappajohn-sculpture-park for pictures and more information about each work and take a virtual tour of the exhibits.
If you visit, be prepared to be amused, confused, and challenged by the pieces on display. And let us know, we only live a mile from the park, we'd love to join you.
