Description

The DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park is located on the estate of Julian DeCordova, a successful tea broker, merchant, and president of a glass company. DeCordova was passionate about art and purchased whatever "caught his fancy", as he once said while traveling with his wife around the world. Today, the museum has an extensive collection of modern and contemporary art, as well as a three-acre sculpture park, filled with 75 sculptures. You can also take classes in sculpture and painting, at the Museum school, which is located in the museum.
