water sprites and other whimsical sculptures dot the city landscape. The grounds include a
crisp modern gallery for changing exhibitions of contemporary art, Milles' elaborately
Pompeiian house and an exquisite outdoor sculpture garden where items from ancient
Greece, Rome, medieval times and the Renaissance intermingle with Milles' own cre-
ations. There's also a museum shop and a cafe.
