VIEW OUR GALLERY

Entering the Museum, visitors leave the busy thoroughfare of Northern Boulevard, go under a narrow railroad overpass, then pass a small brick gate house. From that moment, each view contains visual surprises: l45 acres of rolling lawn, a formal garden, specimen trees and branches, and then Roy Lichtenstein's 3l foot tall Modern Head, an enormous steel sculpture that looks toward the main building. Strolling through the grounds visitors encounter other environmental sculptures, each placed to visually interact with its accompanying natural scene.

Our "Museum Without Walls" contains major works by:

  • Allen Bertoldi,
  • Fernando Botero,
  • Alexander Calder,
  • Chaim Gross,
  • Masayuki Nagare,
  • Reuben Nakian,
  • Marino Marini,
  • Tom Otterness
  • Richard Serra,
  • Mark DiSuvero,
  • Tony Smith among others.
    With more than 50 sculptures, the "Museum Without Walls" is one of the largest publicly-accessible outdoor sculpture gardens on the east coast. The Museum's 145 acre landscape provides the perfect setting for the works, many of which are owned by the Nassau County Museum. Others are on extended loans from such prestigious institutions as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Museum of Modern Art.
