The Sun God by Niki de Saint Phalle In 1982 the University of California San Diego forged a unique relationship with the Stuart Foundation to culturally and ascetically enrich the 1,800 acre site that the university sits on. Artists that have added to the collection are sculpture artist Niki de Saint Phalle, Robert Irwin, and William Wegman to name a few. The university has a brochure that you can follow and see the art that is placed around the campus. The tour is 2.5 miles so take that into account as you plan your day. Not really all that long but for 16 year old Cocoa she really needed a long nap after her tour.
In addition to the Stuart collection there are other sculptures or art inspired items around the campus. Cost for admission to this grand adventure 8 bucks for parking during the week, zip on a weekend. It doesn't come much cheaper than that. Exercise, free art and a beautiful setting, we do live in paradise.
