Henry Moore: War and Utility contains over 200 artworks by Moore , ranging from sculpture, drawing and textiles. Also on display are a selection of documents from the Henry Moore Foundation archive and private collections, including letters, exhibition catalogues, photographs of the period and souvenirs from the Festival of Britain.

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.
