Connecticut's 7 Must-Visit Sculpture Parks & Art Gardens — theculturetrip.com

Free and open to the public every day in Old Lyme, Sculpture Grounds is a 4.5-acre space with over 60 modern sculptures designed by Sculptor Gilbert Boro and many other renowned artists, including Robert Meyer, Fred and Judith Osbourne, Gabriel Warren, Richard Warrington and Gwen Basilica. Not only is it a sanctuary of nature with completed artworks, but it is also home to Studio 80, where Boro currently works. Just like the Sculpture Grounds, Studio 80 is open to the public and guests are even able to meet and talk with the artist himself. The only difference is that visitors must make a reservation ahead of time to view Boro’s works in process and to ask him questions about his masterpieces. Together, Studio 80 and the Sculpture Grounds display a vast array of conventional fine art figures as well as creative, abstract sculptures based off of the scenery, and they introduce visitors to a rare sight of natural beauty decorated with famous artworks of nationally and internationally respected sculptors.
