... that people used to drive by John and Mary Pappajohn's house to look at the sculptures in their yard before they were donated for the Pappajohn Sculpture Park?
ALT1:... that the Pappajohn Sculpture Park in Des Moines is considered one of the most significant collections of outdoor sculptures in the United States?
Comment: If ALT3 hook is selected, there is another image of the work in the article (in the gallery:) that could also be used.
There was only a redirect before, but I don't know if this would be considered a new article or an expansion.

Overall: The original hook seems most interesting. Since this was created recently from a redirect, it's considered new enough. epicgenius (talk) 18:03, 14 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
