sculpture garden

Outdoor art display

A sculpture garden is an outdoor space where sculptures are displayed, typically in a park-like setting with landscaped grounds.

Museums often maintain sculpture gardens as extensions of their collections: We spent the afternoon wandering the sculpture garden.

The arrangement usually allows visitors to encounter artworks while walking through nature.
