Memorial Sculpture Garden

The Memorial Sculpture Garden is located in Key West, Florida and highlights many of the most significant people from the city's history. The park is located on the shoreline in Mallory Square, right in front of the Waterfront Playhouse. The garden opened in 1997 and features three dozen cast bronze busts. More than one million visitors to Key West visit the garden every year. Work by James Mastin is on display in the garden. In addition to sculpting, Mastin works in water colors and paint and also acts and sings.

He has work on display at the Loyalist Memorial Sculpture Garden n Green Turtle City, Bahamas, the Ship Foundation at Pelican Key Casino and Resort n St. Maarten and the St. Francis Xavier which was commissioned by the Catholic Church. His sculpture of The Wreckers is located in the garden. It is 18 feet by 25 feet and depicts the spirit of this brave and profitable work. Busts in the garden include William Curry, Henry M. Flagler, Lena Johnson, Harry S. Truman and John Bartlum.
