Socrates Sculpture Park

Do you have a taste in strange and unusual art? Would a tower of barrels or a two-headed giraffe made out of aluminum interest you? Then Socrates Sculpture Park is the place for you, located in Astoria, Queens. All postmodern art fans will enjoy the many sculptures to be seen, such as barrels that have been smelted together and doors made out of plastic. Even if your not a fan of art, you can enjoy strolling through the park and gazing at one of the best views of Manhattan, especially during sunset. It doesn’t matter if you are a postmodern art enthusiast or not, Socrates Sculpture Park welcomes all!
