Henry Moore and more

Wakehurst, Sussex, UK

From summer 2026, sculpture meets the beauty of the natural world as Wakehurst showcases four of Henry Moore’s iconic sculptures, alongside bold new commissions from contemporary artists.

Curated in partnership with Henry Moore Institute, this remarkable exhibition invites visitors to explore the evolving conversation between art and nature.

New works, inspired by research being undertaken as part of Kew’s Nature Unlocked programme, will work in parallel with Moore’s timeless sculptures, evoking fresh perspectives on themes of care and protection and focusing on the stewardship and conservation of the natural world, against the backdrop of Wakehurst’s wild landscape.

Two exhibitions, one landmark celebration of Henry Moore

This exhibition is part of a dual-site celebration across the Royal Botanic Gardens with another opportunity to experience Moore’s work at Kew Gardens.

This exhibition at Wakehurst presents an intimate encounter with Moore’s work, paired with contemporary commissions that explore sculpture in dialogue with nature.

Kew Gardens will be host to the largest outdoor exhibition of Moore’s work ever presented, featuring over 100 pieces including 30 monumental sculptures set throughout the Gardens, alongside over 70 works on paper, models, and smaller pieces displayed in the Shirley Sherwood Gallery of Botanical Art.
