The Transfield sculpture collection in Walsh Bay adds a great dimension to this theatre district. The seven sculptures, including ‘Into the Trees II’ by Linda Bowden—columns of Corten steel that recall a forest—are part of the Sydney Harbour Sculpture Collections. Check it out before or after a Sydney Theatre Company or Sydney Dance Theatre show. Download the Walsh Bay Sculpture Walk app for an audio tour of the artworks. At numbered stops, you’ll learn such facts as how Jimmie Durham’s ‘Still Life with Stone and Car’ began as a performance for the 2004 Sydney Biennale—the stone was dropped on the car live in the Sydney Opera House forecourt.
