Viewing Dulwich Picture Gallery Sculpture Garden

The final stop on our trio of sensational sculptural offerings in the capital this week is the newly opened Sculpture Garden at Dulwich Picture Gallery. Across three acres surrounding the gallery, visitors will find a series of sculptures that will delight, surprise and shed new light on the gallery’s collection and grounds.

The Lovington Sculpture Meadow provides solace and serenity, designed by leading land architect Kim Wilkie, and resplendent with various species. Taking over a field at the south side of the gardens and free to access, it includes a growing forest of 130 Oak, Wild Service and Elm trees, and a plaited land artform, inspired by the Girl at the Window, the 17th century painting by Rembrandt held in the gallery’s collection.

Equally unmissable is Harold Offeh’s Hail the New Prophets, an mythological spaceship, based on jazz musician Sun Ra’s mothership. Encouraging all ages to play, this whimsical and wonderful interactive sculpture is sure to be among visitor’s favourites for years to come.
