Overview
UPDATE: MARCH 31, 2020 — Due to the government restrictions on public gatherings, Sculpture at Scenic World has been cancelled for this year. All tickets that were purchased are valid for entry to the 2021 exhibition, which is scheduled to take place between April 1–May 2.
For a month in autumn, Scenic World in the Blue Mountains transforms its stunning rainforest surrounds into a spectacular outdoor gallery. Over 20 artworks from local, national and international artists will adorn the green floors and walls of the ancient rainforests from April 9–May 10 for Sculpture at Scenic World.
As you meander along the 2.4-kilometre Scenic Walkway, you'll see interactive installations and subtle artworks that blend seamlessly into the environment. Look out for works by Blue Mountains artist Kayo Yokoyama, Ukraine's Nikita Zigura and Peter Lundberg from the US.
Get the adrenalin pumping by taking the world's steepest passenger train, the Scenic Railway, to the walkway. And, if you want even more excitement, head to the glass-bottomed Scenic Skyway — an invigorating ride on the 270-metre high cablecar that takes in some of the mountains' most spectacular vistas, including the Jamison Valley and Katoomba Falls.
To complete your journey (of literal highs and lows) make a visit to Sculpture Otherwise, an exhibition of smaller sculptures held at the Blue Mountains Cultural Centre.
