If you’ve walked through the Sculpture Park recently, you’ve probably noticed a flurry of activity. Workers are busy in almost every section of the Park to prepare for the grand re-opening on Sept. 30.
Thanks to the City of Kansas City, The Thinker recently received a treatment to remove the old protective coating and reapply a new synthetic one. A final coat of wax will help protect the statue’s bronze surface from the harsh Midwest elements.
The Thinker is owned by the Board of Parks and Recreation Commissioners of Kansas City, Missouri. It was part of the original Henry Moore Sculpture Garden which was a collaborative project among the Nelson-Atkins, the Hall Family Foundation and the City of Kansas City, Missouri.
