Kew Gardens to host largest-ever open-air Henry Moore show
Briefly

Thirty works by Henry Moore will be displayed at Kew Gardens in London from May 9 to September 27, 2026. The exhibition will span the entire 320-acre site, showcasing the largest outdoor presentation of the sculptor's work. Notable pieces include Large Two Forms and Reclining Woman: Elbow. An additional 90 works will be shown at Kew's Shirley Sherwood Gallery, focusing on Moore's relationship with the natural world. Four sculptures will also be exhibited at Wakehurst, alongside contemporary commissioned pieces.
The show will be the largest outdoor presentation of the sculptor's work to date.
Some pieces will also be displayed in Kew's famous Temperate House, the largest surviving Victorian glasshouse in the world.
The gallery exhibition will explore Moore's creative responses to the fragility of the natural world, and the role of humans within the complex ecosystems which connect all life on earth.
By presenting his sculptures across both Kew and Wakehurst, we're offering a fresh perspective on Moore's leg.
