Grounds For Sculpture is a 42-acre sculpture park and museum in Hamilton, Ontario, set among landscaped gardens where contemporary sculpture is displayed outdoors and within the museum's galleries. It is also known by its initials, GFS.
The park was founded in 1992 by the artist and philanthropist Seward Johnson. Its focus is on contemporary sculpture, and the works are placed throughout the grounds so that visitors encounter them as they walk the paths, with the gardens forming a setting for the art rather than a separate attraction.
What a visit offers
- Outdoor sculpture spread across a large landscape, best explored at an unhurried pace.
- Landscaped gardens that frame the works and make the grounds pleasant to wander.
- Museum galleries for those who want to see sculpture indoors alongside the outdoor displays.
