Museum of Outdoor Arts, Art museum and sculpture garden in Englewood, United States.
The Museum of Outdoor Arts is an art institution with indoor galleries and sculpture installations distributed across multiple locations throughout the Englewood metropolitan area. Its collection consists of site-specific works found in parks, gardens, and urban spaces.
The institution was founded in 1981 by the Madden family and pioneered the integration of site-specific sculptures throughout Colorado's public spaces. This approach changed how art institutions in the region presented their collections to the public.
The museum displays artworks in everyday locations like office parks and public spaces, where visitors encounter installations during ordinary walks around town. This spread makes art part of daily life rather than an isolated experience contained within a building.
Artworks in public areas are freely accessible and can be visited at any time. Access to Marjorie Park, however, requires advance scheduling to join a tour or make an appointment.
The museum maintains partnerships with local artists to create installations that blend natural landscapes with contemporary artistic expressions. These collaborations allow for ongoing new works that integrate seamlessly into their surroundings.
