Stanford University's distinguished outdoor art collection includes important figurative and abstract works in a variety of
media by artists of the late 19th century to the present. As part of the Cantor Arts Center collection, outdoor sculpture is maintained
by the Center's staff. Oversight of the outdoor art program is the responsibility of the Presidential Panel on Outdoor Art of Stanford
University, the members of which are appointed each year. Visitors are invited to view sculpture on campus on their own or join a docent-led tour.
The Cantor Arts Center presents the largest collection of works in bronze by Auguste Rodin outside of Paris, including 20 major works in the Rodin Sculpture Garden.

The Papua New Guinea Sculpture Garden contains 40 wood and stone carvings of people, animals, and magical beings that illustrate creation stories and cultural traditions. Ten artists from the inland Sepik River area created the sculptures on-site during a five-month visit in 1994. This sculpture garden is located at Santa Teresa and Lomita Drive. The garden is always open; free tours are on the third Sunday of the month.
