Heart Sculptures Parading Around the Heartland!

In 2022, visitors and locals exploring the Kansas City metro area could attempt to find some or all of the 150+ heart sculptures on display. The hearts returned in 2023 on a smaller scale (40 sculptures). All of the hearts moved to a central location in July and were auctioned off in early August. Will they return in 2024?

Social Media Description

What sculptures have you seen on display around your home city (or a city you've visited)?

We have had guitars in Austin and we've seen cows (Chicago), horses (Southampton) and turtles (Panama City Beach) during our travels.

We are feeling fortunate that we got to see just one of the 40 hearts that were on display this spring and summer around the Kansas City, Missouri metro area. We stumbled upon this one titled "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" while it was in its original location in downtown Parkville.

Do you enjoy art displays like this one?
