About

What to Know

Seven Wonders rises above Sesquicentennial Park near the promenade and Preston Avenue Bridge. Each column incorporates children's drawings etched into stainless steel, with themes including agriculture, energy, medicine, manufacturing, technology, transportation, and philanthropy. Look for both the overall scale and the small drawn details. Pair it with a walk through the park rather than treating it as an indoor exhibit. Use mapped public routes and check bayou-side access conditions.
