This successful exhibition has now closed. However, you can still see over 25 monumental Moore pieces in the beautiful grounds of the nearby Henry Moore Foundation at Perry Green, Herts.
Hatfield House is the home of Lord and Lady Salisbury and the childhood home of Queen Elizabeth I. This was the first solo exhibition of Moore's work in the grounds of an historic house, and the largest of its kind.
Nearby is Moore's former home at Perry Green, Herts - The Henry Moore Foundation. See link, right.
The Foundation visitor season at Perry Green runs from 1 April 2011 - 30 October 2011. It has a newly-refurbished pub dining room, The Hoops Inn, and an exhibition in its gallery, Henry Moore Plasters. There are 70 acres of outdoor sculpture as well as the artist's house and studios, carefully restored.
