About
Yorkshire Sculpture Park is a leading international centre for modern and contemporary sculpture. It is an independent charitable trust and registered museum situated in the 500-acre, 18th-century Bretton Hall estate in West Yorkshire.
Founded in 1977 by Executive Director Peter Murray, Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP) was the first sculpture park in the UK, and is the largest of its kind in Europe, providing the only place in the world to see Barbara Hepworth’s The Family of Man in its entirety, alongside a significant collection of sculpture, including bronzes by Henry Moore, and site-specific works by Andy Goldsworthy, David Nash and James Turrell.
Yorkshire Sculpture Park also mounts a world-class, year-round temporary exhibitions programme including some of the world’s leading artists across five indoor galleries and the open air. Recent highlights include exhibitions by KAWS, Bill Viola, Anthony Caro, Fiona Banner, Ai Weiwei, Yinka Shonibare MBE, Joan Miró and Jaume Plensa.
“For a day’s fun with art, it’s hard to beat the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Set in a beautiful, landscaped garden laid out in the 18th century, it’s a place to wander, discover and be amazed.”
– Waldemar Januszczak, The Sunday Times
