Join us on Wednesday, May 15, 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. for the opening day of the newly expanded Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden Food trucks from Crepes a la Cart, La Cocinita, Diva Dog, and Frencheeze will be on site throughout the day. As always, admission to the Besthoff Sculpture Garden is free. The six-acre addition features 27 new works by artists working primarily in the 21st century. The expansion, which broke ground in December 2017, builds on the success of the museum's existing five-acre Besthoff Sculpture Garden, widely regarded as one of the top sculpture gardens in the world. The existing site is home to 64 sculptures from renowned artists from the 19th century to the present. Get NOMA's Besthoff Garden Mobile Guide! Text Sculpture to 555888. Download the guide HERE.
