Sculpture Garden

Comprised of some 47 works and the only sculpture garden in the Bronx, the collection features works in a range of materials from metals to natural elements and in an assortment of styles from figurative to abstract. Outdoor sculpture has been central to the Art Collection since the late 1960s and is displayed against the natural panorama of the Hudson River and Palisades.
