The Saint Louis Art Museum recently marked the opening of the Grace Taylor Broughton Sculpture Garden with a ribbon cutting and public celebration. The garden features an international collection of modern and contemporary sculpture set in a landscape design by Michel Desvigne of Paris. The project was made possible by a gift from Andrew and Barbara Taylor and is named in honor of their granddaughter.
