Sculpture
In 1988, museum founder Leigh Block donated a large group of bronze sculptures with an endowment for their maintenance. The works by such artists as Hans (Jean) Arp, Barbara Hepworth, Joan Miró and Henry Moore constitute the core of the Museum’s Outdoor Sculpture Garden, which was designed by architect John Vinci and is situated around the Museum on Northwestern’s lushly landscaped campus.
Over the years, the Block selectively added works to the Garden by artists such as Wolfgang Paalen and Bryan Hunt. A Sculpture Garden Map 
(pdf) is available online and at the Museum. During the summer, the Museum offers weekly guided tours of the Garden.
Portions of the Block’s sculpture collection are also on view inside the Museum, including Subjects-Objects -- a monumental site-specific work by Neil Goodman that adorns the wall of the stairway -- and works by Jacques Lipchitz and Miró.
In addition, the Museum is home to more than 60 sculptural works, wall hangings and weavings by the fiber artist Theo Leffmann. Gifted to the Museum by Paul Leffmann, an ongoing display of these unique works can be seen in the Theo Leffmann Gallery.
