Join me for a guided exploration of the Financial District’s public sculptures, uncovering the stories behind some of New York City’s most iconic artworks. The tour begins at the iconic Charging Bull, before heading to Zuccotti Park to discuss Joie de Vivre, Red Cube, and Double Check. We’ll continue along Broadway to Fearless Girl and Integrity Protecting the Works of Man at the NYSE, then pause at George Washington outside Federal Hall. Walking along Liberty Street, we’ll admire Noguchi’s Sunken Garden, Group of Four Trees, and Nevelson’s Shadows and Flags. Our journey ends at Rudolph de Harak’s Conheim’s Clock. Expect a 90-minute walk—wear comfortable shoes and bring water!
Accessibility
The tour covers approximately 1.5 miles over 90 minutes at a moderate walking pace. The route is generally accessible to wheelchairs and strollers, as it follows sidewalks and pedestrian-friendly areas. However, some sections may require navigating around construction zones or crowded places, particularly near Wall Street and the NYSE.
The planned path does not have stairs, and all sites can be viewed from street level. Some sculptures, such as Isamu Noguchi’s Sunken Garden, are located within plazas with slight inclines or uneven surfaces but remain accessible.
