These coordinates bring you to the entrance of the Maryhill Museum of Art's Sculpture Garden. There is a fee to enter the Museum, but it is free to stroll the grounds. The garden is East of Maryhill mansion, surrounded by trees. Make sure you also visit the Sculptural Overlook that features incredible views of the Columbia Gorge and an interpretive trail telling about the history of the area.

The garden is a work in progress. As the museum aquires new pieces it adds them to the Sculpture Garden. Currently I believe they own 3 pieces in the garden. Additionally there are about 10 other sculptures on loan from the artists or owners. I think that the landscaping needs work as the setting could better feature the art. It's worth a visit though.

Although there is no sign naming the garden as a "Sculpture Garden", it is mentioned as such on the museum's website listed below.

If you have the time be sure to visit the museum. They have a wonderful collection of Rodin Sculpture.
