Explore the Sculpture & Mural Walk in Downtown Columbus

Last Updated 5/14/2026

Take a stroll through downtown Columbus and discover the creativity woven into our streets through the Sculpture/Mural Walk, a self guided tour of public art that highlights the city's commitment to beauty, culture and community engagement.

The walk includes over a dozen pieces ranging from large-scale murals to contemporary sculptures, many of which are part of the SWAN (Sculpture Walk Across Nebraska) program. Each piece has a story to tell, and with new additions arriving annually, the walk is always evolving.

App-Based or Brochure Based Guide

Whether you're a visitor exploring Columbus for the first time or a longtime resident seeing downtown in a new light, the Sculpture/Mural Walk offers a fresh perspective on our creative district. An app-based guide is available to help you navigate the route and learn more about each piece. Or if you prefer a memento, brochures are available in the painted brochure holder located in the southwest corner of Frankfort Square.

So grab a coffee or gelato, bring a friend or two and enjoy a creative journey through the Trackside District.
