Sculpture Vulture invites you into the captivating world of public sculpture, where art history meets our everyday spaces.

As your host and curator,  Lucy Branch, acts as the ‘vulture’—not preying upon the weakened, but keenly observing and collecting the powerful stories that surround these works. From centuries-old bronze monuments to bold contemporary works, we soar through cities and towns uncovering the multifaceted narratives of public art.

Our episodes weave three distinct threads: intimate conversations with living sculptors who share their personal journeys of triumph and challenge; fascinating investigations into historic statues and the stories of the artists, subjects, and societies that created them; and explorations of the broader world of public sculpture—

Whether you’re an art enthusiast, history buff, or simply curious about the sculptures you pass every day, “Sculpture Vulture” reveals how public sculpture transforms our shared spaces into open-air galleries that belong to everyone.
