Yorkshire Sculpture Park is a pioneering place that aims to challenge, inspire, inform and delight.

It seeks to provide a centre of international, national and regional importance for the production, exhibition and appreciation of modern and contemporary sculpture.

Many inspirational elements combine to create a unique and exceptional balance of art, heritage, learning, space and landscape, within 500 acres of 18th century landscape and 5 indoor gallery spaces.  Within a national and European context YSP is the only one of its kind, offering artists and visitors experiences and opportunities unlike anywhere else. Great art for everyone has been YSP's goal since opening to the public in 1977, enabling access, understanding and enjoyment of art and landscape for everyone.  The revelatory nature of the Park's setting opens up so many possibilities and encourages exploration of the relationship between art and nature, stimulating engagement and adventure in the surroundings. To look out across carefully-designed vistas in the parkland, to chance upon a sculpture in the landscape, to make personal discoveries whilst seeing and touching sculptures by some of the leading artists of the 20th century - there is nowhere else like Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
