Yorkshire Sculpture Park
Set in the beautiful grounds and gardens of a 500-acre, 18th century country estate, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP) is one of the world's leading open-air galleries, presenting a changing programme of international sculpture exhibitions.
The landscape provides a variety of scenic vistas of the valley, lakes and eighteenth century estate buildings and bridges and with new exhibitions each year, there is always something different to see.
The Underground Gallery, cut discreetly into the hillside of the Bothy Garden, provides extensive indoor exhibition space to complement the outdoor sculpture displays.
The modern Visitor Centre provides all-weather facilities including a large restaurant, shop, coffee bar, auditorium and meeting rooms.
YSP also run an exciting program of workshops, courses and lectures and can provide guided tours personalised to meet the interests of groups.
Artists represented at YSP include: Henry Moore, Anthony Caro, Antony Gormley, Barbara Hepworth, James Turrell and Andy Goldsworthy.
The friendly and knowledgeable team at YSP look forward to seeing you during your visit.
Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP) has been named Yorkshire’s ‘Most Magnificent Attraction’, beating over 100 other popular Yorkshire venues to this prestigious accolade. (September 2011)
