About

What to Know

Tolerance places seven kneeling figures made from stainless-steel letter patterns on sandstone boulders near Allen Parkway and Montrose Boulevard. Jaume Plensa used characters from several writing systems to connect the figures with human diversity and shared experience. Walk around the group from public paths and compare the letter patterns. The city describes internal lighting, but operation should not be guaranteed on a particular night. Respect the memorial dedication and avoid climbing the figures or bases.
