The Henry Moore Foundation has completed a £5m redevelopment of the Sheep Field Barn at the sculptor’s former home in Perry Green, Hertfordshire. The project, led by architecture firm DSDHA, transforms a former farm building into a sophisticated complex featuring improved exhibition galleries and two purpose-built learning studios. The site will open to the public on April 1, 2026, serving as a permanent hub for exploring the artist's legacy through his extensive archives and sculpture collection.
This expansion marks a significant investment in art education and the preservation of 20th-century British modernism. By introducing dedicated learning spaces alongside a landmark exhibition of Moore’s 'Shelter Drawings,' the Foundation aims to reposition the site as a dynamic center for making and scholarship rather than a static memorial. The project ensures that Moore’s 72-acre estate remains a vital destination for understanding the intersection of sculpture, history, and the English landscape.
