Visit British sculptor and artist Henry Moore's house, studios, and outdoor sculpture garden. at Perry Green outside London.
Experience Henry Moore’s iconic work with a visit to the artist’s former home. On seventy acres of Hertford farmland, we will tour his house, wander the workshops in the barns, and traipse the countryside to view his large and magnificent sculptures in green fields, amongst the sheep.
Moore moved to his house Hoglands in Hertfordshire with his wife Irina in 1940, they set about adapting the gardens to this purpose. Over the years, they transformed adjacent rough farmland to create our sculpture gardens, which now cover almost 70 acres of lawns, orchard, woodland and sheep fields.
Moore found inspiration in nature and he used the land around his home as a practical working space. This emphasised the connection between his sculpture and the landscape.
Each year, around twenty of Moore’s sculptures are displayed in the gardens. Many more can be found inside the studios. Many of these are the artist’s own casts, which he entrusted to the Foundation’s care.
The house tour is 30-35 minutes. We will have lunch (included in the event price). Then 90-minute tour of studios and gardens. Dress suitably for the weather. We will be outside much of the day, and wear shoes for uneven surfaces and gardens/fields that may be wet.
