the park
"The 265 acres here, in the midst of rolling hills, are surely the most beautiful natural setting of any art park in the country" - Atlantic Monthly
Located in Southwestern Ohio, overlooking the Great Miami River, Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park & Museum is a 265 acre sculpture park and outdoor museum combining the lure of nature with the dynamic presence of monumental art. It is a setting where landscape and art come together in natural galleries among vast meadows and woodlands.
It has been said that a fine piece of art never truly reaches completion, and the same holds true for a world-class park. Pyramid Hill will always be evolving to become better than it is today...
Pyramid Hill is an outdoor museum focusing on monumental pieces of sculpture in an environment of meadows, forests, and various gardens. Our mission will include the eventual establishment of a collection which will demonstrate the complete history of sculpture, making Pyramid Hill the only art park in the world working on the accomplishment. Educational programs in art, horticulture, geology, and the environment will make Pyramid Hill a busy learning center.
