Umlauf celebrates new partnership with Bloomberg Connects
Tuesday, March 4, 2025 by Chad Swiatecki
The Umlauf Sculpture Garden + Museum is set to host a free public event 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 5, to celebrate its partnership with Bloomberg Connects, a global digital platform that enhances accessibility and engagement for arts and cultural institutions. The event will include a presentation on utilizing the new digital guide, opportunities to explore the garden and complimentary refreshments. Information and event registration are available online. Representatives from the Zilker Botanical Garden and the Bullock Texas State History Museum will also be present to share information about their own Bloomberg Connects guides and programming. Umlauf is in the early stages of a significant renovation plan aimed at enhancing accessibility and expanding its offerings. The Historic Preservation, Expansion and Unification (HPEU) Plan proposes integrating Charles and Angeline Umlauf’s historic home, private garden and artist studio with the existing museum and sculpture garden. The plan includes developing new facilities, such as the “Treehouse,” a multilevel structure designed to connect different areas of the property, and the “Gateway,” a welcoming center to accommodate educational programming.
