The public sculpture downtown is built to be stood under. A sixty-foot pair of dancers, two Boteros, and a forty-foot bear peering into the Convention Center.

First the art Denver puts right in your face, then the art built into the parks and the riverfront.
The only surviving piece of Denver's old City Hall, which stood on this spot from 1883 until it was torn down in 1936.
Twenty-three small sculptures scattered over twelve blocks, shaped like cameras, televisions and spyglasses. A scavenger hunt you do while riding.
Volume and proportion pushed so far the style got its own name, Boterismo. Worth walking around, because the proportions change with your angle.
Sixty feet tall and the first artwork installed in Sculpture Park. From a distance they read like a line drawing; up close the scale changes them completely.
A curious bear peering into the Convention Center, inspired by a newspaper photo of a bear at somebody's window. The blue stuck because the proposal model happened to be made in blue.
Back up 14th, spotting the ones you missed.
Mosaic, text and river imagery running down the ramp, so you follow the artwork while physically walking toward the actual river.
Without being told, you would assume it was just part of the park. It sits somewhere between sculpture, landscape and architecture.
Five huge curved Corten-steel forms. The title sounds like geometry homework, which is the point: it is about mathematical form, not about representing anything.
Public art built into a place instead of set on a pedestal with a plaque. The skaters are part of the piece.
Along the river and back into LoDo.
11 stops, about 54 minutes of riding and talking. Timings are what the route is built to; wind, lights and how long you want to stand under the bear will move them.
