10 Best Ways to Enjoy Seattle's Olympic Sculpture Park

1 Start at the Pavilion. Pick up a map (and a latte) at the sleek steel-and-glass pavilion; take in the views, and be sure to admire Ellsworth Kelly's Curve XXIV on your way out. The rusted-steel fan shape is mounted on a raw concrete wall just outside the pavilion entrance and is a masterpiece of understated precision.

2 Linger among Richard Serra's Wake sculptures. Five towering, curved-steel forms undulate in inverted relation to one another. Although the sculptures are massive and heavy, they're also fluid, suggesting rusty ships' hulls.

3 See Mark di Suvero's Bunyon's Chess. An iconoclastic, kinetic work constructed of logs and thick chain, seems at home overlooking the railroad.

4 Don't miss the Typewriter Eraser, Scale X. Detour down a bark-strewn path that winds through a grove of quaking aspen and lush fern, to Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen's zany, colossal pop-art rendition of a completely retro office tool, sitting slightly askew on an embankment.

5 Visit Tony Smith's Wandering Rocks. And, at the park's southernmost entrance, a spiritual fountain designed for the park by 95-year-old sculptor Louise Bourgeois.
