📋 DETAILS FROM TIA’S CIRCLE:
Tucked away along the peaceful shoreline of Lake Austin, Laguna Gloria offers a one-of-a-kind outdoor art experience just five miles from downtown. Part of The Contemporary Austin, this 14-acre site combines the beauty of a historic estate with inspiring contemporary sculpture installations set in a natural landscape.
Stroll through the Betty and Edward Marcus Sculpture Park, where art blends seamlessly with gardens, wooded paths, and scenic lake views. The park features striking works by celebrated artists like Ai Weiwei and Tom Friedman, making it a must-visit destination for art lovers and nature enthusiasts alike.
At the heart of the site is the 1916 Driscoll Villa, once the lakeside home of philanthropist Clara Driscoll, who envisioned the property as a cultural retreat. Today, it remains a key part of the experience—offering historical charm and hosting community programs and events.
Visitors can also stop by Spread & Co., the cozy on-site café for drinks and light bites, and browse the museum shop for artist-made goods and creative gifts.
Whether you're looking for a quiet walk, an inspiring art encounter, or a family-friendly outing, Laguna Gloria is the perfect place to explore the intersection of art and nature in Austin.
