Museum
Its highlight is a 35-acre (140,000 m2) park overlooking Flint's Pond (also known as Sandy Pond) with approximately 60 outdoor sculptures and installations; it also has several indoor galleries with a rotating series of special exhibitions, gift shop, cafe, and function spaces. The park's permanent collection is small but important, including works by Antony Gormley, George Rickey, Alexander Liberman, Nam June Paik, Dan Graham and others. Additionally, prominent works by Ursula von Rydingsvard, Sol LeWitt, Gary Webb, Jaume Plensa, Jim Dine and other artists are displayed on rotating loan, and the park features rotating installations of new and site-specific contemporary work.
