Franklin D. Murphy Sculpture Garden, Sculpture garden at UCLA campus, United States

The Franklin D. Murphy Sculpture Garden spans five acres, displaying more than 70 modern sculptures across landscaped grounds with coral trees and brick pathways.

The garden opened in 1967 under UCLA Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy's direction, transforming a portion of the university campus into an outdoor art exhibition space.

The collection includes works by international artists such as Auguste Rodin, Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, and Alexander Calder, representing different sculptural movements.

Visitors can access the garden through Parking Structure 3 off Sunset Boulevard and the 405 freeway, with guided tours available through the Hammer Museum.

Each sculpture maintains its individual space within the garden's layout, allowing visitors to examine the artworks from multiple angles against the California landscape.
