Stanford University's distinguished outdoor art collection includes important figurative and abstract works in a variety of media by artists of the late 19th century to the present. As part of the Cantor Arts Center collection, outdoor sculpture is maintained by the Center's staff. Oversight of the outdoor art program is the responsibility of the Presidential Panel on Outdoor Art of Stanford University, the members of which are appointed each year. Visitors are invited to view sculpture on campus on their own or join a docent-led tour.

The Cantor Arts Center presents one of the largest collections of works by Auguste Rodin outside Paris, including 20 major works in the Rodin Sculpture Garden.
