VISIT Henry Moore Studios & Gardens, the Hertfordshire home of 20th century sculptor Henry Moore, for inspiring workshops and drop-in events this summer. The gardens feature 23 of the artist’s iconic bronzes and six studios preserved as Moore would have used them, and tours of Moore’s family home, Hoglands.

In the hamlet of Perry Green, Hertfordshire, Moore was able to explore the relationship between nature, landscape and the human form. The open countryside allowed him the freedom to create outdoors sparking an enduring dialogue between his work and nature. Visitors in 2024 will be able to trace this relationship through a selection of sculptures displayed in the landscape he shaped. These works highlight Moore’s common themes – the reclining figure, the mother and child and the contrast between internal and external forms – and are joined by some of his purest organic abstractions that reveal the journey from handheld pebble to monumental work.

The 2024 events programme draws inspiration from Moore’s lifelong fascination with natural forms and his constant aspiration to forge a stronger connection between his artworks and natural surroundings.
