There is even more to see at Kew this Christmas, with a landmark exhibition of works by Henry Moore. Wander through one of the world's most famous gardens and experience the monumental beauty of 28 of Henry Moore's largest sculptures, set against the great glasshouses and the stark winter outlines of long vistas and majestic trees.

Representing the largest outdoor display of Moore's work ever held in London, this powerful exhibition highlights the inspiration that Moore took from nature and his enjoyment of seeing his works in a landscape setting.

Combine your Christmas trip to Kew with an exploration of the sculptures, and learn more with the short film showing in the Princess of Wales conservatory and exhibition of Moore's maquettes in the Nash Conservatory. An audio guide is available, as well as a stunning 96 page catalogue and walking tour, all providing an absorbing insight on the pieces and artist.

Children can follow our downloadable Sculpture Trail, aimed at children aged 3 - 10 with fun questions and facts for you to puzzle out!
