La Trobe University Sculpture Park

Dialogue of Circles sculpture park (1976) by Inge King

The La Trobe University Sculpture Park is a sculpture park on the Bundoora campus of La Trobe University in Melbourne , Australia .

The sculpture park was created right next to the university's new campus in 1966 as the La Trobe University Art Collection . The collection is related to the architecture of the university buildings and is intended to make the connection between the university buildings, sculptures, architecture and landscape forms tangible. This sculpture garden presents works from all directions in art since the 1960s and reflects important developments and trends in sculpture during this period. The university regularly organizes exhibitions and was responsible for the First Australian Sculpture Triennal in 1981 .
