This doesn't seem to be here any more.

The sculpture was moved indoors in 2023. The art-filled time capsule that it guarded seems to have vanished.

This is cute. The building has been demolished and the statue moved, so pull further into the parking lot to see it in the statue garden.

The building behind the Guardian has been demolished and the statue is no longer there. It has been moved to where all the other statues are.

This piece of artwork is part of an outdoor collection at Sunset mall. It's a time capsule that contains art from today, and will be opened in the future. I've always loved time capsules, watching them get opened.

Amarillo is truly a treasure trove of art, if you get a chance stop by and check out the art at Sunset Center.
