The UMLAUF Sculpture Garden + Museum is a cultural institution in Austin, Texas, dedicated to education and appreciation of sculpture. It presents the work of Charles Umlauf alongside other contemporary sculptors in both indoor exhibitions and a surrounding outdoor garden, providing visitors with a broad view of the medium in a natural setting. The organization operates as a collaboration between private leadership and city maintenance, with the museum funded, managed, and maintained by the UMLAUF entity and the garden cared for by the City’s Parks and Recreation Department. The site serves students, educators, and art enthusiasts seeking accessible sculpture programs and exhibitions in a regional context.

Founded on a family collection donated by Charles and Angeline Umlauf in 1985, the institution is based in Austin and has grown to present the full range of Umlauf’s work through permanent and changing displays. Charles Umlauf’s career as a sculptor, his teaching tenure at the University of Texas, and his recognition through prestigious awards are part of the historical context that informs the museum’s holdings and its emphasis on sculpture in public and private collections. A notable recent development includes leadership changes within the organization, reflecting ongoing governance and program development in the local arts scene.
