Calder Gardens builds on the legacy of Alexander Calder (1898–1976), one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Set within a landscape of more than 200 varieties of plants created by Piet Oudolf, the 18,000-square-foot building designed by Herzog & de Meuron features a series of Calder’s sculptures chosen for their responsiveness to the environment.

Please note: this tour is accessible by wheelchair.
