Muskegon’s public art collection began in 1892, with none other than Charles Hackley commissioning important statuary for the new Hackley Park which he created. Our most recent work of public art was installed in November of 2025, Twister Again, at the Muskegon Museum of Art. This book will highlight all the works in the public collection of Muskegon, the artists, and how the works came to be. In addition to the book, we will also be launching a map application which will show where all the works are and will include background information on each piece.
We are seeking funds to help produce this book.
