Organised in partnership with Museum Beelden aan Zee, this large-scale retrospective provides a unique insight into Moore’s creative process and use of materials, focusing on the influence of nature on his work.
More Information

This exhibition features almost eighty works from the collection of the Henry Moore Foundation, including carvings in stone and wood, sculptures cast in lead, bronze, fibreglass and concrete, and a selection of natural forms from Moore’s studio. Together, the works show how Moore’s choice of material affected the shape, size, and subject of his sculpture.

The Museum Beelden aan Zee is the only Dutch museum with an exclusive focus on modern international sculpture. It is situated just off a 3km stretch of beach, with many of its galleries and terraces overlooking the North Sea.

Exhibition Info: In 2023, more than twenty monumental bronzes inspired by natural and human forms are displayed in the landscape at Henry Moore Studios & Gardens, adjacent to the studios where Moore developed ideas. Multi-part reclining figures are joined by some of his purest organic abstractions and works exploring his most iconic themes, the mother and child, the reclining figure, and the juxtaposition of internal and external forms.

27 May 2022 - 04 September 2022
Exhibition Info: This exhibition takes as its starting point the artist’s early fascination with the Neolithic site of Stonehenge and continued exploration of the upright abstract form. Moore first encountered the prehistoric monument under the moonlight as a young man in 1921. He was inspired by the grandeur of the idea – a powerful and primal work of art set in the landscape.
2022-23 St Albans/Doncaster, Henry Moore: Drawing in the Dark
16 December 2022 - 26 August 2023
Exhibition Info: Drawing in the Dark is the largest exhibition to date of Moore’s coalmining drawings, completed in 1942 for the War Artists’ Advisory Committee. When Moore was asked to record the coalminers working to power wartime Britain, he chose to visit the mine his father had worked in, Wheldale Colliery in Castleford, where he spent a week drawing from observation. Subsequently, he worked from memory to create the remaining drawings which were all completed within six months. This fascinating body of work reveals the back-breaking labour endured by nearly 3/4 million miners as they made their vital contribution to Britain's war effort, while also providing new insights into Moore’s life and artistic process.
