Roaming around Stanford University campus
Stanford University has a pretty campus with interesting art pieces, gardens and historic places to explore. We started at the Papua New Guinea Sculpture Garden (Santa Theresa Street at Lomita). This grove of wooden sculptures were created by artists from Papua New Guinea and inspired by traditional stories from their culture. Each piece has a gentle curve that gives the tree-like form a sense of movement. There were painted pieces that reminded me of the style of traditional artisans in Australia. There were a few stone pieces, as well. It was impressive and fit beautifully with the grove of trees.
The quad has a beautiful chapel with a stunning mosaic. The interior was closed during our visit.
We wandered through the eucalyptus grove, cactus garden and arboretum. We stopped at the impressive mausoleum of Stanford family.
