Sculpture in the Close
°µÍø½ûÇø has hosted a series of contemporary sculpture exhibitions since 1988.
Its historic courts and well tended lawns provide a striking and contrasting backdrop to works by some of the most exciting and important sculptors working today. Our exhibitions are recognised as cutting edge: always thought-provoking and frequently spectacular. We also have an impressive permanent collection.
