Sculpture gardens
With over 70 acres of gardens and rolling fields, see Moore’s world-famous, monumental sculptures as he intended, against the landscape he shaped.
Included in your visit
Studios
Preserved as Moore would have used them in his lifetime, six studios reveal the artist’s processes of drawing, etching, carving and model making.
Included in your visit
Tapestries in the Aisled Barn
A reconstructed sixteenth-century farm building, the Aisled Barn is the only place in the world to see Moore’s unique tapestries. Available to hire, and occasionally closed for private events.
Included in your visit
Hoglands, the Moore’s family home
Hoglands was home to Henry Moore and his wife, Irina for almost fifty years. It now houses Moore’s personal art collection and the curiosities that often inspired his sculpture.
