Philip and Muriel Berman Sculpture Park
Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown, hosts this magnificent sculpture garden-which is one of the most beautiful in the country. This beautiful work of outdoor creativity-is the nation's largest work of art in a health setting. The works of Philip and Muriel are legendary, and encompass what seems to be an endless variety of paintings and sculptures created over a lifetime.
Their collective works are a celebration of life, and the essence of what they lived and expressed can be seen in these livid and thought provoking works in the Sculpture Park. This is truly a pleasant stroll and quality time spent, which will invoke thoughts of awe and respect for the entire creative process.
Make it a point to read up on the lives of these two dynamic individuals. It will provide a much deeper insight and respect for the works seen and experienced in the Sculpture Park. Every shape and line of their sculptured art-is a historic marker of the journey their lives took. You can even imagine being with them throughout the entire process, from beginning to end. One can even imagine that the hospital itself, and the care and services provided; are somehow enhanced by this explicit display of beauty on the hospital grounds.
Go prepared for this experience. It will not take long to walk through the Park. But, it will truly be a missed opportunity; whereby not knowing the artist-you fail to thoroughly understand and appreciate the work. Do a google search on these fascinating artists and you'll be filled with information to share on your stop at this interesting venue.
