Showcases Des Moines Sculpture Scene!

This app is really useful. If I'm out on a walk or bike ride around downtown Des Moines and want to know more about a piece of sculpture, this app has all the info I need.

A few weeks ago I was showing some out of town friends around and quickly went to this app to see who the artist was as my friend thought a similar piece was in downtown Dallas, Texas. This app had all the info we needed.
