Guided Tours

Moore in the Garden
Explore this outdoor exhibition of the work of famed 20th-century sculptor Henry Moore— Moore in America: Monumental Sculpture at The New York Botanical Garden. Inspired in part by nature’s forms, Moore created large-scale works of abstract art, twenty of which are displayed throughout the Garden grounds. Guided by an instructor, students will investigate some of these works up close, and then create their own inspired art work.

Sensory Walk
What are the important tools both scientists and students carry with them everywhere they go? Their senses, of course!
