Stuart Collection Self-Guided Walking Tour

Stuart Collection Photo

The Stuart Collection is a truly unique collection of sculptures, murals and other installations sprinkled across the entirety of the UC San Diego campus. The permanent collection is distinguished from a traditional sculpture garden by its site-specific nature with many of the installations fused to university buildings and integrated into the landscape of the 1,200-acre university.

A self-guided walking tour is the perfect way to explore the UC San Diego campus at your leisure and enrich your mind!
