There are up to 400 pieces of public art, including 58 statues and memorials, 77 sculptures and installations, 30 major fountains within the City of Sydney. Our ongoing restoration and conservation program is important to ensure these unique and often historic pieces are returned to their former glory and can be enjoyed by future generations.
