There is much Moore to see at Kew Gardens

There are sculptures by the British artist Henry Moore (1898-1986) on display at London’s Kew Gardens until 31 January 2027.

The artworks in the open-air are wonderful to view, but the real treat is under cover in the garden’s Shirley Sherwood Gallery of Botanical Art. This gallery contains:

“… more than 90 of Moore’s smaller-scale works, including sculpture, drawings, models and sketchbooks – some of which are rarely accessible to the public.” (https://www.kew.org/kew-gardens/whats-on/henry-moore).

Within this gallery, there are some of Moore’s earlier works, including drawings and sculptures. Beautifully displayed, I found these more interesting than the larger outdoor works.

If you get a chance, a visit to Kew Gardens is well worthwhile during the period that this exhibition is on.
