About

This place is a hidden treasure within Colgate, Wisconsin. The local artist who created this sculpture garden is proof that if you pursue what you love doing and keep at it, eventually you will achieve great things.

At Bobrowitz Spectacular Sculpture, every piece tells a story. The various fixtures are the work of Paul Bobrowitz, who spent decades crafting artwork from metal.

His work is spread across a six-acre sculpture garden. His pieces are colorful and creative, adding a wonderfully whimsical feel to the place. While exploring the site, you’ll come across stainless steel balancing pieces and a whole menagerie of metal animals, including a monster or two.

Everyone is welcome to browse the outdoor gallery. All the pieces on display are for sale, so if any catch your eye, there’s a good chance you can take them home with you.
