Henry Moore: Monumental Nature at Kew

Henry Moore became one of the most celebrated artists of the 20^th century and his works are exhibited worldwide. You can a few Henry Moore sculptures in London, like Knife Edge (1962-4) which sits on College Green next to the Houses of Parliament (see below).

However, this summer there’s a wonderful opportunity to see 30 more of his works in a fabulous new exhibition (until 31^st January 2027) set among the beautiful botanical gardens at Kew. There’s an indoor exhibition where more than 90 of his sculptures, drawings, models and sketches bring alive his talents along with some botanical paintings from the Shirley Sherwood Collection. The outdoor and indoor sculptures are art showcase Moore’s talent but also illustrate his passion for the expressive power of nature.

Kew Gardens are open daily (from 10am to 7pm in the summer weekdays and to 8pm on weekends and bank holidays). To get tickets and look at the different options for visiting Kew Gardens click on this link.
