About Ewing and Muriel Kauffman Memorial Garden

The Memorial Garden on the Kauffman Foundation campus in Kansas City opened over Memorial Day weekend in 2000. Its design draws on European parks, with bronze sculptures by Tom Corbin, seasonal annual and perennial beds, pruned foliage framed by stone walls, brick walkways, and playful fountains. Staff and volunteers change the annual displays at least four times a year. The garden is also the final resting place of Ewing and Muriel Kauffman. Visitors should note that smoking, dogs (except service animals), biking, rollerblading, alcohol, and portrait photography sessions are not allowed.
