The Myriad Botanical Gardens has several pieces of art. Gateway by Hans Van de Bovenkamp stands on a raised berm at the northeast corner of the Gardens. Childhood is Everlasting (1992) by Robin Orbach is installed in the southwest quadrant of the grounds. The Philodendron Dome is located on the northwest side of the lake and consists of a dome-shaped framework on an 8' × 9' base made of iron and bronze. Iron vines support the "dome" of this bronze plant's leaves, where visitors can enter for a view from underneath.
Flying Fish by Kenny McCage is a kinetic sculpture in the Gardens's east lake. Land of the Brave and the Free is a kinetic wind sculpture composed of bright colors and archetypal shapes. It is located on the west side of the Gardens. It was donated in 2002 to the Festival of the Arts by California artist Susan Pascal Beran. The Spirit Poles are adjacent to the north fountain plaza and were gifts to the City of Oklahoma City from the City of Tulsa in commemoration of Oklahoma's centennial of statehood in 2007.
The Myriad Botanical Gardens is served by the Oklahoma City Streetcar at Myriad Gardens station.[1]
