Located just outside the J Paul Getty Museum is the stunning Fran and Ray Stark Sculpture Garden. It is certainly not the largest outdoor sculpture park with only 28 works, but that does not make it any less special.
This park earned such a prestigious name for itself because all 28 works on view were donated from the private collection of film producer Ray Stark and his wife Fran. The oldest statue dates back to 1911 and the newest is from the 1980s. Some of the artists showcased in the collection include huge names on the sculpting scene like Alberto Giacometti, René Magritte, Saul Baizerman, Elisabeth Frink, Ellsworth Kelly and Roy Lichtenstein.
For guests who want a bird's eye view over the whole affair, be sure to make a visit up to the museum terrace, which looks down over the whole sculpture garden.
Kielder Water and Forest Park in Northumberland, England
Kielder Water and Forest Park is more so a park with some sculptures hidden in it. With only 22 pieces along the 47-kilometre forest trail, it will definitely take more than a day to see it all. However, in between hiking to the next beautiful piece of art you’ll see some of the most beautiful forest along the Scottish-English border.
