Indianapolis Children's Museum

Accent Limestone was pleased to be awarded two (2) separate custom limestone carving projects during 2009 from the Indianapolis Children’s Museum in the development of their Anne Frank Peace Garden. The first project was to custom carve permanent garden sculptures of the Seven Wonders of the World. This was a wonderful opportunity for our limestone carvers, two of which are Master Limestone Carvers. The stone sculptures took countless hours of hand carving, with very close attention to textures and proportional details. The Great Wall of China was the most challenging with the details of the brick and stone walls, which totaled 22 feet of carved limestone. The Coliseum began as a 21,000 pound limestone block and was reduced to around 11,500 pounds at completion. The end result was a beautiful garden area that children can actually climb on the sculptures and learn about their historical significance.
