Description
Description
This is a great museum for people who don't
enjoy being cooped up in a stuffy, hushed space. An art instructor
at the University of Texas for 40 years, Charles Umlauf donated his
home, studio, and more than 250 pieces of artwork to the city of
Austin, which maintains the lovely native garden where much of the
sculpture is displayed. Umlauf, whose pieces reside in such places
as the Smithsonian Institution and New York's Metropolitan Museum,
worked in many media and styles. Though he used several models, the
one you're likely to recognize is Farrah Fawcett, Umlauf's most
famous UT student. The museum video is captioned for those who are
hearing-impaired, and with advance notice, "touch tours" can be
arranged for those who are blind or visually impaired.
