Teave
Kiired faktid: Skulptor Henry Moore'i enda poolt 1977. aastal asutatud instituut majutab üht Suurbritannia suurimat skulptuuriarhiivide kollektsiooni, millel on üle 35 000 eseme, mis hõlmavad kahte sajandit. Selle silmatorkav modernistlik hoone The Headrow'l kontrasteerub ümbritseva viktoriaanliku arhitektuuriga, meelitades igal aastal 60 000 külastajat nägema nii püsivaid väljapanekuid kui ka vahelduvaid kaasaegseid näitusi.
Esiletõstmised: Instituudi peidetud aare on arhiivikeskus, mille saab broneerida avastamiseks, kus saad käsitseda originaalseid visandikke ja Moore'i enda käe kipsmakette. Enamus külastajaid ei tea, et hoone toorkonkreetne interjöör oli tahtlikult kujundatud kajastama skulptori ateljee tekstuuri koos loomuliku valgusega, mis voolab läbi dramaatilise klaaskatuse.
