Henry Moore's Monumental Sculptures Invade Kew Gardens

Kew Gardens in London hosts the largest open-air exhibition ever dedicated to Henry Moore, with 30 monumental bronzes scattered across 130 hectares of UNESCO World Heritage-listed botanical gardens. The sculptures emerge among Victorian greenhouses, ancient oaks, and botanical pathways, as if the organic forms had always belonged to the landscape. The Shirley Sherwood Gallery simultaneously presents over 90 drawings, models, and sketchbooks—rarely exhibited—revealing the genesis of these bronze colossi. Founded in 1759 by Princess Augusta, Kew Gardens houses over 50,000 plant species and the world's largest botanical collection, designated a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2003. The exhibition runs until January 31, 2027.
