Sculpture in York?s Museum Gardens
?York?s Museum Gardens will play host to five striking 20th century
sculptures from Saturday, July 17, in Sculpture in the Museum Gardens.
Four works from Yorkshire Sculpture Park, near Wakefield, will be put
in place until November 2005, as well as a work by the late York
sculptor, Austin Wright. The contemporary works will be placed around
the 19th century botanical gardens, giving visitors a new perspective
on a rich historic site which houses the Yorkshire Museum and the
ruins of the medieval St Mary?s Abbey.?
?The gardens last hosted a sculpture exhibition in the 1970s and this
new collaboration has come about thanks to support from Arts Council
Yorkshire, Yorkshire Forward and the Renaissance Group, as well as
Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Caroline Worthington, Curator of Fine Art
for York Museums Trust, said: ?We are delighted to be working with our
neighbours Yorkshire Sculpture Park on this project. We are sure that
the sculptures will look stunning in the wonderful gardens of the
Yorkshire Museum".

Suzhou Museum
?(Suzhou, China, March 1, 2004) ? Partnering with I.M. Pei Architect,
Pei Partnership Architects is currently designing the
15,000-square-meter Suzhou Museum in Suzhou, China. The museum is
meant to house the extensive artistic and cultural treasures of the
2,500-year-old city.?
The Suzhou Museum is scheduled for completion in 2005.
?The new Museum Garden and its smaller Gallery and Administrative
Gardens will not be landscape-based on traditional and conventional
approaches. Rather, new design directions and themes will be sought
for each of them, where the essence of traditional landscape design
can be distilled and reformulated into potentially new directions for
Chinese garden architecture.?

Hi Judy10!
I found another interesting article for you.
New gardens at the Peace Museum, in Caen
Inauguration on 5th June 2004, 17h.
"The history of the Caen Memorial is also that of its gardens. It
began with the American garden, inaugurated in 1994. In 1995, in his
turn, the Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien inaugurated a garden
dedicated to the memory of his compatriots involved in the Battle of
Normandy."
"In 1996, the Duke of Kent unveiled the stele in the British garden.
On 5th June 2004, Prince Charles, The Prince of Wales, member of the
British Royal Family will come to the Caen Memorial to open the
British gardens officially. In creating a new garden, the veterans
will be offering a place of contemplation and beauty to thousands of
visitors from around the world. They will be reaffirming their loyalty
to memory and to the undertaking of nations of goodwill to build a
peaceful history for future generations together."
