The Sculpture Garden contains one of the major sculpture collections in this region and offers visitors an opportunity to view 20th century sculpture by well known artists such as Henry Moore, Joan Miro, Jacques Lipchitz, Jean Arp, Barbara Hepworth, Jean Ipousteguy, Arnoldo Pomodoro, Virginia Ferrari and Antoine Poncet. Each work is situated so that it can be appreciated alone or in relation to the surrounding landscape. It provides a creative way in which to become more familiar with some of the masterpieces of the visual arts. The Sculpture Garden is open year-around and admission is free. The gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily unless otherwise noted.
Admission is free.
Norris University Center will be closed from 6 p.m. Dec. 23 through Jan. 1 for winter break. It will reopen at 8 a.m. Jan. 2. The Dittmar Memorial Gallery opened in 1972 to enhance the mission of Northwestern University by utilizing visual art as a vehicle for transmitting culture and knowledge. The gallery currently places emphasis on ethnic cultural art, art by emerging artists, and art by or about women, as well as artwork by Northwestern University undergraduate and graduate art students. Even though each of the artists has carved out a personal niche, many ties connect the selected artists.
