Abstract:
At the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh is one of the only art-nature trails in the country. The trail, which opened in 2005, is dotted with art inspired by the natural world such as a giant brambly structure by Patrick Dougherty and a whirligig by Vollis Simpson. The two-mile trail ends in a pedestrian stone bridge over the Raleigh Beltline that connects it with miles of Raleigh greenway trails.
