Laumeier Sculpture Park received a $445,000 gift from the Estate of Warren F. Vaupel to be held in trust for support of long-term exhibitions, education programming and operations. Vaupel was a former St. Louis resident who passed away in July 2010 in Seattle. Monies received will be used to fund exhibitions, K-12 and adult education programs, Laumeier’s primary programming areas, and operations.
