How much do you know about Henry Moore? We love this exposition of his life and work. Famous for sculpture but his drawings and paintings are a fascination and his use of new materials (e.g. polystyrene) very inspiring.

Started off in Hoglands Moore's house. It feels as if he has just stepped out for a moment and gives you an insight to the man himself.
The staff are really enthusiastic. It was just starting to drizzle when we entered the grounds and staff provided us with umbrellas.
The grounds are mahoosive with much of the artist's work dotted around.
His studios are a must see with the rocks, bones, etc that gave rise to much of his work. Along with tapestries and wallpaper designs.

An excellent place for studying the sculpture and other art, or just for a pleasant afternoon walk surrounded by some significant and beautiful artworks. It's very well run with friendly staff, a trail for kids, neat tea room and endless amounts of interesting discovery.

Although overcast the art shines forth. Becoming Henry Moore exhibition fascinating, don't forget to go upstairs to enjoy the heads. Cafe space excellent and not overly priced. A good few hours of enjoyment.

A high quality exhibition of the life of Henry Moore. Well crafted and with a real sense of his presence as a result of the way the Foundation have preserved his working space and displayed his methods.

Very nice area to walk around and enjoy a simple day out with friends and family. Under current conditions there is limited access to some areas and the cafe is an order in advance model, but works well and enjoyed my time there.

A fantastic day out. If you have any interest at all in Moore, Sculpture, 20th Century Art or art in general, you should visit. If you have no interest, it's still a wonderful place to visit and walk around. The new visitor centre is architecturally interesting, with a good cafe and shop. The Hoglands tour is interesting. Walking through the landscape with Moore's large scale works in situ is breathtaking. And, perhaps most interestingly, numerous studios show his practice, full of found objects, sketches and maquettes. The Hoops Inn next door is a great pub, too.

I should say at the start of this review that I am bias. I love Henry Moore's work so I was very excited about going to the place where he lived and worked.
However even if you are not a fan this is a very well run place to visit. Decent sized carpark despite the rural setting, good signage, disabled access, nice cafe situated in modern but sympathetically built reception building.
Lovely grounds with sculptures scattered around the grounds. Exhibitions of his working models, drawings and sculpting work shop in separate buildings.
Tours of the family house available, but can only be booked at the site, not prior to attending. House worth booking. Very inciteful into the life and nature of Moore and his family.
Easy place to spend a long morning or afternoon, or longer if you're a fan.
Would thoroughly recommend.

A great day out exploring the grounds of the Moore's old home, seeing may of his sculptures and in this season's special exhibition many of his drawings too. A bit of seating in the exhibition space would have been appreciated.
Pleasing that the merchandise in the shop was not over priced.

What an inspirational place, will be going back again, definitely recommend to go that worth seeing this amazing man's sculptures on display along with other art works in his many outbuildings/Barns
