Concrete Cows, Public art sculpture in Milton Keynes, England
The outdoor installation features three concrete cows and three calves, each approximately half life-size, constructed with fiberglass reinforcement and painted black and white.
Artist Liz Leyh created these sculptures in 1978 during her residency in Milton Keynes, using materials donated by local builders for community art projects.
The sculptures represent the transformation of Milton Keynes from agricultural land to urban development, appearing in the list of 100 most influential outdoor sculptures in England.
Visitors can find the concrete cows at Milton Keynes Museum, which maintains regular opening hours and provides parking facilities for those wanting to see the sculptures.
Each concrete cow contains a distinctive heart-shaped pattern within its surface design, an intentional detail added by the artist during their creation.
