The Henry Moore Foundation at Perry Green, has evolved considerably from the time when it was the Sculptor’s rural home and studio. It has become the setting for the largest and most comprehensive collection of Moore’s work, offering further opportunities to discover details of his life and the breadth of his art.
The Arts Society Bury St Edmunds is pleased to announce a visit to the Foundation, which will include a tour of Hoglands House, Henry Moore’s family home, and the Studios and Sculpture Gardens.
As the location is only about an hour’s journey from Bury St Edmunds the visit is offered on a self-drive basis.
