The home and studios of sculptor Henry Moore launches a new guide on Bloomberg Connects.

On 16 December 2022 Henry Moore Studios & Gardens joins more than 100 cultural institutions around the globe on the Bloomberg Connects app, launching a new digital guide featuring audio and video from the Henry Moore Archive to enrich both on-site and off-site visits.

Bloomberg Connects is the free arts and cultural app created by Bloomberg Philanthropies. The Bloomberg Connects app, available for download from Google Play or the App Store, makes Henry Moore Studios & Gardens accessible for virtual visits over the winter, while the site is closed, through photo, audio and video features offering insights into the sculptor’s artistic practices, the development of his famous sculptures and his life in the English hamlet of Perry Green.

The app includes a wealth of information, and new audio descriptions and rare unseen footage which will be added to for the reopening of Henry Moore Studios & Gardens on 5 April 2022 to enrich the on-site experience for visitors.

“I really hope that visitors will be inspired by the information they find on the Bloomberg Connects app. It will not only give them an introduction to Henry Moore and to his practice but, also, give them a richer experience when they visit our site from April 2023.”

Godfrey Worsdale OBE, Director of the Henry Moore Foundation
