Donald J. Hall Sculpture Park

This outdoor sculpture garden winds its way around the lawn of Kansas City's Nelson-Atkins Museum and includes the four iconic shuttlecocks that have become a symbol of both the museum and city along with numerous works by Henry Moore and other artists. In fact, the outdoor exhibition was originally known as the Henry Moore Sculpture Garden and data back to 1986 when the museum acquired 57 of Moore's sculptures. The garden now includes a variety of works by other artists In the early 1990s and with the support of the Hall Foundation, the museum began acquiring additional works including the four sculptures known simply as "Shuttlecocks" by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen. The four shuttlecocks were a gift from the Sosaland Family. Following the gift of the Hall Foundation's entire collection of 84 works, the sculpture garden was renamed the Donald J. Hall Sculpture Park in 2014.
