The Rijksmuseum Amsterdam will open a new public sculpture garden this autumn, featuring permanent works by major 20th-century artists.Summary
The Rijksmuseum Amsterdam has announced the opening of a new public sculpture garden, made possible by a €60 million donation and long-term loans of numerous sculptures from its largest private supporter, the Don Quixote Foundation. The new facility, named "Don Quixote Pavilion and Garden at the Rijksmuseum," will permanently display sculptures by international artists from the 20th century onward, including Alberto Giacometti, Louise Bourgeois, Alexander Calder, Jean Arp, Roni Horn, and Henry Moore. Temporary sculpture exhibitions will also be held in the garden. The Mayor of Amsterdam praised it as a "wonderful gift" allowing visitors to enjoy nature and art together, while the museum director noted the donation's historical significance in bringing appropriate visibility to modern sculpture.
