One of the University of Maryland’s most important features and outdoor art pieces is the statues of the campus mascot, Testudo.

Stretching out across the McKeldin Mall is the ODK Fountain, which has been a part of the University’s outdoor art collection since 1991.

Located near The Clarice on the Northwest Corner Presidential Drive is the Blues Bird. The Blues Bird is symbolic in that it is the Prince Georges County (PG) bird, which is why it was originally used by artists to make new work of art and to help bring more visitors to PG county.

Sitting in the middle of the large open area on the McKeldin Mall and between the McKeldin Library and Omicron Delta Kappa Fountain is the University of Maryland’s sundial.

This garden features a bronze statue of Kermit the Frog perched on a red granite bench with creator and Maryland alumnus Jim Henson.

Dedicated in 2015, this garden prominently honors one of Maryland’s greatest native sons, Frederick Douglass, on Hornbake Plaza.
