Join us on our second Art & Culture adventure to Australia’s unique outdoor gallery in the towering Jurassic rainforest in the heart of the Blue Mountains. Nestled within World Heritage wilderness in the Jamison Valley, the exhibition is accessed via the world’s steepest train or for a more gentle descent, the Scenic Cableway. This Art & Culture event is back by popular demand.
Sculpture at Scenic World is an outdoor exhibition sited along an elevated Scenic Walkway. Artworks from 30 local, national and international sculptors reflect the beauty of the rich rainforest surrounds with explosions of colour. All artworks are installed by experienced arborists and art handlers – Sculpture at Scenic World has proudly maintained a 0% ecological footprint since the exhibition’s inception.
Our adventure commences with an exhilarating ride on either the Scenic Railway (the world’s steepest railway) with the iconic Three Sisters as a backdrop or by Cable Way.
Accompanied by our guide our private SWIC tour takes us along the Lillipilli Trail to view the sculptures – approximately 2.5 km of easy accessible walking. Additional information on the tour and details of the organisation for the day will be provided on receipt of your RSVP. You may wish to check out https://www.sculptureatscenicworld.com.au/
