12 Campus Statues
Some of them are so integral to the UW–Madison experience that you saw them most days on campus (and likely rubbed a foot for luck). Others are tucked into places less frequented by the average Badger. The statues of the UW, a collection that spans a full century of creative work from multiple sculptors, are just a small portion of the more than 100 pieces of public art that bring color to campus. Each has its own unique story to explore — from the fierce badger near Camp Randall to the pigeon perched at “The Roost” in Union South. The next time you’re here, look up, look around, and find them all.
