No Climbing

Even though Laumeier’s artworks are outdoors and subject to the elements, physical contact can still cause irreparable damage, making it difficult to preserve them for future generations. Please do not climb on any artworks, unless otherwise noted on the sculpture’s object label. 

View Laumeier's Sculpture Interaction Guidelines

Artworks must sometimes be removed from view due to inappropriate public interaction, including climbing; graffiti; carving or scratching on sculptures; and general destructive activities. Please help us take care of the Collection; if you see anyone interacting with an artwork inappropriately, contact the Park Rangers at 314.615.8911.

Wildlife

In addition to sculptures, flowers and native plant species, Laumeier is home to many types of wildlife, including some that you may not be used to seeing on a daily basis like owls and snakes. One species in particular that you may see is the Western Ratsnake (often called a Black Snake). It is one of Missouri's largest and most familiar snakes and is a nonvenomous hunter of rodents, small rabbits, bats, small birds and bird eggs.

If you see wildlife while visiting the Park, remember that they won't bother you if you don't bother them! It is best to leave animals alone. Young animals may appear to be alone and in need of rescue, but their mothers are often nearby. Additionally, snakes, lizards and most turtles are protected by state law, so it is best to leave them alone if you spot them at the Park.

Photography

Laumeier’s artworks in the outdoor galleries make excellent subjects and backgrounds for personal photographs. Due to copyright restrictions, visitor safety and access concerns, commercial photography and videography is allowed only with advance permission
from Laumeier. Contact the Marketing & Communications Department at communications@laumeier.org for more information.
