What you can see
Henry Moore: The Sixties
Tickets include entry to our special exhibition Henry Moore: The Sixties, which presents a fascinating insight into Moore’s life and work during a pivotal decade of his career.
The exhibition includes 30 sculptures – some never exhibited before – and over 20 drawings and graphics, which reveal Moore’s pioneering use of new materials and printing techniques.
Sculpture gardens
With over 70 acres of gardens and rolling fields, see Moore’s world-famous, monumental sculptures as he intended, against the landscape he shaped.
Included in your visit
Studio workshops
Preserved as Moore would have used them in his lifetime, six studio workshops reveal the artist’s processes of drawing, etching, carving and model making.
Included in your visit
Tapestries in the Aisled Barn
A reconstructed 16th century farm building, the Aisled Barn is the only place in the world to see Moore’s unique tapestries. Available to hire, and occasionally closed for private events.
Included in your visit
Hoglands, the Moore’s family home
Hoglands was home to Henry Moore and his wife, Irina for almost fifty years. It now houses Moore’s personal art collection and the curiosities that often inspired his sculpture.

Henry Moore Archive
The world’s leading resource on the life and work of Henry Moore, containing publications, photographs, correspondence and exhibition material.

Frequently asked questions
Find answers to other common questions about our facilities, activities and what to expect once you get here.
Can I touch the sculptures?
Yes, you can touch the outdoor artworks. The sculptures can be more delicate than they look, so please be careful, especially if you are wearing jewellery.
What should I wear?
Much of our estate is grassland and can get very muddy in wet weather. We advise wearing sturdy, practical shoes and bringing waterproofs if rain is forecast.
Can I bring my dog?
Badged assistance dogs are welcome, but our gardens and car park are unsuitable for pet dogs and other furry friends, so please leave them at home.
