Designed by Finnish-American architect Eliel Saarinen in 1916, the Triton Pools are a series of successively elevated
reflecting pools. At the top are bronzes designed by Swedish sculptor Carl Milles based on the classical
myth of Triton, a sea god with the head of a man and the tail of a fish:

Dividing the Triton Pools and the Orpheus Fountain is a perfectly proportioned colonnade known as the Peristyle
designed by Eliel Saarinen. In the opinion of Blair Kamin, Chicago Tribune architecture critic, "The
combination of the fountains and the Peristyle, which leads to Cranbrook's Art Museum and
Library, is one of most memorable urban groupings in America." (October 3, 1999)
