About

On a street corner in front of the Madison Children's  Museum, you'll find a whole gaggle of street signs. But don't expect these signs to be much help in navigating—they're an art installation called Roads Diverge.  

Each sign bears a word or phrase that you might find familiar: "Should I Stay" and "Should I Go"; "Rock," "Paper," and "Scissors"; and "Sidewalk Ends" are among the many green and blue signs in this art piece. This piece was created by Portland, Maine-based artist Aaron Stephan in 2013.
