Item Description
Two guest passes (each valid for two admissions) for a day at the DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum is located on the former estate of Julian de Cordova (1851-1945). The self-educated son of a Jamaican merchant, Julian de Cordova became a successful tea broker, wholesale merchant, investor, and president of the Union Glass Company in Somerville, Massachusetts. Although he married into the locally prominent Dana family of Boston, Julian achieved prosperity without the advantages of inheritance or social position.
DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum augmented its position as the region's foremost presenter of modern and contemporary sculpture by adopting an ambitious program of expansion and continuous renewal. Today, the Sculpture Park encompasses 30 acres of beautiful rolling woodlands and lawns, and is the largest park of its kind in New England. The Sculpture Park provides a constantly changing landscape of large-scale, outdoor, modern and contemporary sculpture and site-specific installations. The Park hosts more than 60 works, the majority of which are on loan to the Museum.
DeCordova attracts more than 100,000 visitors from New England and tourists from around the world to its campus each year. Learning and engagement programs at deCordova are recognized for providing innovative, participatory interpretives, activities, and spaces. Through its partnership with the Reggio Emilia-inspired Lincoln Nursery School, deCordova is currently the only contemporary art museum in the country to host an on-site pre-school program. DeCordova also plays a critical role in preserving today's regional art for future generations. With more than 3,400 works in its holdings, deCordova features an important permanent collection of New England contemporary art.
