Celebrating a 35 year history with Milwaukee
First commissioned by the Milwaukee Art Museum in 1990 for their ongoing exhibition series, Currents; Sculpture Milwaukee has worked closely with Meg Webster to fabricate her work again, on a larger and more accessible scale.
The work sits comfortably inside a circular patch of grass atop Museum Center Park. Glass Spiral overlooks the museum, expanding the institution's cultural impact to the public.
Constructed of 1/4" glass panels and a composed garden of pollinators and native plants,
Glass Spiral strikes a harmonious chord that connects plant, animal, and public life to those who wander in and about the sculpture. Be a part of this spectacular work of heart by contributing to our replanting and garden maintenance funds.
The current iteration of Glass Spiral is ADA compliant and wheel-chair accessible.
During warmer months, Glass Spiral takes on a new life with water cascading down the glass panels. A practical aspect of the work's integrated irrigation system and incredible sensory addition to this work.

Why Native Plants?
Many plant species support 90% of local butterfly and moth populations and 60% of native bee population.
Native plants are perennials with deep root systems that come back more abundant every year - costing less than annuals over time!
Native plants improve soil health, watershed health, and conserve water.
Exposure to nature is scientifically proven to help improve mental well-being.
