Vintage St. Pete: The Science Center’s Walk of States

St. Petersburg’s first example of large-scale public art has been buried under oak leaves, twigs and dirt for seven years.

When the Science Center of Pinellas County closed up shop in 2018, visitors were denied access to the Walk of States, a 275-foot oval mosaic, created by hand, with square panels for each of the 50 American states. Each section included a silhouette of the state, a tile depiction of its state bird and flower (using the correct colors) and an imported piece of stone indigenous to that state.
