Scheduled to open in September 2025, Calder Gardens will display the works of Alexander Calder in Philadelphia on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway between 21st & 22nd Streets directly across from the Barnes Foundation.

Calder Gardens unites the art of Alexander Calder with nature and architecture to create an oasis that invites introspection and nurtures human connection. Featuring an 18,000 SF building designed by the Pritzker Prize–winning firm Herzog & de Meuron and gardens by internationally acclaimed landscape designer Piet Oudolf, Calder Gardens will present a rotating selection of masterworks from the Calder Foundation, New York.
