moore in the gardens

Moore in the GardensDenver Botanic Gardens presents a landmark exhibition of monumental works by the internationally acclaimed British sculptor, Henry Moore (1898-1986). This powerful exhibit highlights the inspiration Moore found in natural environments, emphasizing the relationship of humanity to the natural world.

Twenty of Moore’s massive sculptures are displayed within the landscape settings of the Gardens’ York Street and Chatfield locations, providing the perfect backdrop for work which demands to be seen in the open.

Experience Moore’s work in all seasons, from the vibrant colors of spring to the cool light of winter. Discover sculptures in the Gardens’ diverse landscapes – in prairie wildflowers, serene reflecting pools, and the rugged rock alpine garden.
