40d:Sculpture garden

A sculpture garden is a room defined from a statue. They act as meeting places for dwarves and tame animals, who tend to gather at sculpture gardens. When dwarves take a break in the sculpture garden, they tend to admire the statue the room is defined from, and no others. Therefore, you should define the room from your highest value statue. Multiple statues in the same room will make the primary statue 'tastefully arranged'. The secondary statues can be of any material and it will still grant this benefit to the primary statue. Occasionally an idle dwarf will host a party at the statue, and dwarves who attend will have a chance to make friends.

In the current version^{v0.28.181.40d}, setting up a public sculpture garden is not generally recommended, as having one will cause dwarves to waste much more time holding parties, which while annoying, can be canceled (see party page). However, setting up private gardens for individual dwarves who work far away from the main fortress may help improve thoughts and prevent long walks.
