About Calder Gardens
Calder Gardens is an art museum in Philadelphia dedicated to the work of sculptor Alexander Calder, opened in 2025. It sits on 1.8 acres (0.73 hectares) of land on the city's Benjamin Franklin Parkway and includes indoor and outdoor spaces that feature Calder's work.
Jointly administered by the Calder Foundation and the nearby Barnes Foundation, Calder Gardens was designed by the architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron in collaboration with landscape designer Piet Oudolf and landscape architect Richard Herbert. Funding for the nearly $100 million project was provided by the city, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and private donors.
