I would contact the Umlauf Sculpture Garden and Museum in Austin.  They have a large collection of outdoor sculptures, some of which are included in tours for the blind.  I believe these particular statues have a type of coating to protect them from the elements.

Hi everyone,

 

I think this may have been an earlier discussion so I maybe repeating someone else.

 

We just received a bronze statue to place in our Garden exhibit.  We were wondering how to clean and care for it.  Is there anything we can do now since it is new to help protect it better?

 

Thanks

Deb
