Driving through Colgate, Wisconsin, you might spot roadside signs directing you toward something called "Spectacular Sculpture." You must go. The signs will take you to a six-acre outdoor gallery in southeastern Wisconsin showcasing the metal work (and private property) of artist Paul Bobrowitz, open to the public daily from 9:00am-5:00pm. Though it isn't exactly trespassing, there is a strange surprise element to driving down Paul's long driveway. There are armies of metal creatures: nymph-like spokes that spin in the wind like yard toys, kooky contraptions repurposed from old tires and wire, and hefty beasts that rise from the ground like brutalist art. There is a seemingly endless collection of artwork, which Paul's website sorts into categories of monumental, whimsical, kinetic, and wall.
If the signs on nearby roads aren't enough to get you to the right area, the address is N93W29174 Woodchuck Way in Colgate, WI. It is found near Holy Hill, thirty minutes Northwest of downtown Milwaukee.
