The Grace Taylor Broughton Sculpture Garden. located behind the Saint Louis Art Museum, thoughtfully marries masterworks with landscape design and architecture. This exciting outdoor gallery showcases the Museum's strong, international collection of 20th century and contemporary sculpture. Designed by renowned French landscape architect Michel Desvigne, the garden weds the Museum's expanded campus with the natural habitat of Forest Park. Sculptures installed in self-contained garden “rooms” are separated by 450 hornbeam and serviceberry trees, creating spaces for gathering, contemplation, and the appreciation of art, nature, and design to reflect the design of the East Building, which opened in June 2013.. The Sculpture Garden showcases the Museum's diverse international collection of modern and contemporary sculpture, some of which have never been on display before. The installation of major modern sculpture features examples of figurative work by French artists Maillol, Renoir and Lipchitz, and German sculptor Gasteiger, British artist Henry Moore and Japanese sculptor Masayuki Nagare.

The sculpture installation is curated by Simon Kelly, curator of modern and contemporary art. The transformative project, as well as an endowment to fund its upkeep, was made possible by a gift from Barbara B. Taylor, president of the Saint Louis Art Museum Board of Commissioners, and Andrew C. Taylor, executive chairman of Saint Louis-based Enterprise Holdings, Inc. The garden is named in honor of their granddaughter, Grace Taylor Broughton.
