One of the most iconic works at Newfields is getting a little TLC. 🦴🌿

Funky Bones, the beloved installation in The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park that many recognize from the film adaptation of John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, is undergoing conservation work to keep it looking its best for years to come.

The sculpture will reopen later this summer. We will let you know when it does!
