Moore in America Overview

Moore in America at the Atlanta Botanical Garden is the largest outdoor exhibition of Henry Moore's sculpture ever presented in a single venue in the United States. The 20 colossal works are displayed throughout the Garden and among its gardens and plant collections, providing for an impressive interaction of nature and art such as Moore envisioned. The Henry Moore Foundation, which is dedicated to furthering the understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of Moore's work, co-curated the exhibition, which is underwritten by MetLife Foundation.

One of the finest botanical gardens in the world and the most treasured and beloved landscapes in Atlanta, the Garden offers alluring outdoor venues for such an exhibition. When Moore's grand sculptures are set in the intimate scale of the Garden's landscape, both are transformed.
