Sculpture Park

A true gem of a museum surrounded by a marvelous sculpture park that extends over many acres and hills. The park is immaculately kept featuring probably over a hundred contemporary artists’ sculpture works in a wide range of themes. One of my favorite is Paul Matisse’s immersive sound sculpture that delights every time. The deCordova is simply a most beautiful environment for long strolls amongst trees, rock gardens, waterfalls, woods, lawns, and beautiful art, during any season. Do visit the museum as well for their curated exhibitions.

Great rotating art displays on the grounds as well as in the gallery. Gift shop has some unique items but a bit pricey. Also has a nice Cafe.

This sculpture park and museum had been a top go-to family destination for years. If you've never been, make it happen. It has open space for running around and the sculptures are so interesting at large scale, for all ages. The indoor museum has had some of the most creative and enjoyable exhibits over the years, although it can be hit or miss with your personal art preferences. The only negative is the entry fee, which is $10 more or less per person per day, discounts for kids. It's worth it once a year.

I want to thank deCordova for not only existing, but for being so child friendly. I have a curious, wonderful 10 month old and the staff of the indoor museum didnt even bat an eye when I allowed her to crawl around the exhibit floor (no one else was present). In fact, they were supportive. Highly recommend at all seasons and for all ages!

Totally love this place! We would come here as a date in grad school, and now bring our kids here to run around and enjoy the sculptures
