JURIED EXHIBITION

Land of Enchantment

A Fantastical Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition

 

July 10 through October 31, 2021

For hundreds of years, artists have been inspired by the imaginative potential of fantasy. This outdoor installation of fantastical sculpture is presented in conjunction with our current exhibition, Enchanted: A History of Fantasy Art. The fanciful sculptural works on view throughout the Museum’s thirty-six acre site are inspired by each artist’s imagination and the exhibition’s themes of classical and contemporary mythology, fairy tales, and fantastical heroes and villains.

Many thanks to curator Thomas Mesquita and to the outstanding artists who have made this special exhibition possible. Enjoy a stroll through the Museum’s grounds to discover their unique, inventive artworks, which are sure to inspire wonder and delight. Many of the sculptures on view are available for purchase,
please visit the Museum store for more information.
