DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum
Lincoln - 51 Sandy Pond Road - MA 01773
DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum is New England’s largest outdoor museum dedicated to modern and contemporary sculpture. Spanning over 30 acres in Lincoln, Massachusetts, the park features more than 60 large-scale sculptures and site-specific installations, creating a dynamic landscape where art and nature intersect. The collection is ever-evolving, showcasing works by both emerging and established artists.

Visitors can enjoy a range of year-round activities designed to engage the public with the arts in an immersive environment. From snowshoe tours in the winter to yoga sessions in the park during warmer months, deCordova fosters a unique connection between visitors and contemporary art. Special events, artist talks, curator-led tours, and nature walks further enrich the experience, offering deeper insights into the works on display and their relationship with the surrounding environment.

A distinctive feature of deCordova is its commitment to education and community engagement. The park is home to Lincoln Nursery School, the first preschool in the United States to be embedded within a contemporary art museum. This innovative program allows young children to interact with art in an inspiring setting, fostering creativity from an early age.

While the museum's indoor galleries are currently closed for renovations, the outdoor sculpture park, café, and retail store remain open to the public. DeCordova continues to host public programs and private events, ensuring that its mission of celebrating contemporary sculpture and engaging visitors with the arts remains vibrant and accessible. Whether exploring the open-air exhibitions or participating in one of its many cultural offerings, deCordova provides a unique and enriching experience for art lovers of all ages.
