Yorkshire Sculpture Park

Yorkshire Sculpture Park is an outdoor sculpture gallery. It presents works of both British and foreign artists. You can find here, among others the largest bronze sculpture collection in Europe by Henry Moore. Unlike most places of this type in Great Britain, Yorkshire Sculpture Park does not have a permanent exhibition and the exhibition program is regularly changed.

The gallery is located in the park that surrounds the Bretton Hall estate from the 18th century. Currently, the building houses the Bretton Hall College of Education. Original decorative elements remained in the park, including deer shelter, located in the area previously separated into the so-called deer in the park. It was transformed into an artistic installation by the American sculptor James Turrell.

The sculpture park also houses the renovated Chapel of St. Bartholomew, dating from the middle of the 18th century. Next to it was a sculpture called the Iron Tree.
