National Gallery of Art Sculpture Park
The National Gallery of Art Sculpture Park is a sculpture park at the National Gallery of Australia on Lake Burley Griffin in the Australian capital of Canberra .
history
Immediately after the National Gallery was completed in 1981, the sculpture park was laid out by the landscape architect Harry Howard. The planning for this began in 1972 and there were several sculptures, such as the Hill Arches by Henry Moore, Bobine by Alexander Calder, Virginia by Clement Meadmore and other works by Auguste Rodin. The first sculptures could already be erected in 1982 and the other sculptures were built in early 1983. There were also other projects such as the Fern Garden by Fiona Hall in 1998th
