In Lowell, where the motto on the city seal is "art is the handmaid of human good," it seems only fitting that contemporary works of art stand alongside historical sites. Created by international artists, these works specifically address the themes of the Lowell National Historical Park: the Industrial City, Labor, Machines, Power, and Capital. Each artist selected the site for their original work, and we encourage you to explore the art, history, and culture along this walking tour.
