Sculpture garden Clingenbosch is situated on the Clingenbosch estate, a stone’s throw away from museum Voorlinden. Nearly 70 works by national and international artists can be admired here, including Antony Gormley, Henry Moore, Sol LeWitt, Berlinde De Bruyckere, Giuseppe Penone and Atelier Van Lieshout. The sculpture garden is open for a few months each year and only with a guide.
The Clingenbosch sculpture garden is currently closed. Every year from May to September, guided tours of the garden are held every Thursday afternoon from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. You will need to book a sculpture garden ticket online in advance. The guide will then take you on a two-hour walk through the garden, past more than 70 sculptures.

History of the sculpture garden
The sculpture garden has been open to visitors since 1995. This was preceded by years of preparation with artists, curators and gardeners. Several artists, including English sculptor Antony Gormley and Dutch artist Armando, created sculptures especially for the sculpture garden.
The 25-hectare estate offers a varied landscape. The artworks are integrated into nature as much as possible, maximising the different facets of the forest. The locations of the sculptures are often determined in consultation with the artists. Over the years, the sculpture garden has expanded with new acquisitions, often commissioned. Flemish artist Berlinde De Bruyckere, for instance, created her first permanent outdoor sculpture for Clingenbosch sculpture garden.
