Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Sculpture garden in West Bretton, England
The Yorkshire Sculpture Park spans 500 acres of landscaped grounds, featuring 90 permanent outdoor sculptures and rotating exhibitions from international artists.
The estate dates back to the 18th century, and in 1977 it transformed into the first permanent sculpture park in Britain, setting new standards for outdoor art.
The park maintains partnerships with numerous artists and institutions, presenting works by Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, and contemporary creators throughout the grounds.
Visitors can access the park via the M1 motorway or take a train to Wakefield Westgate station, with regular taxi services available for the final portion.
The Underground Gallery transforms its spaces seasonally, integrating natural light through glass walls while exhibiting sculptures against the Yorkshire landscape background.
