Google Earth Community: Moore in America

The MetLife Foundation, the Henry Moore Foundation, and the New York Botanical Garden have made possible the largest outdoor exhibition of Henry Moore's work in the United States. This show, Moore in America: Monumental Sculpture at The New York Botanical Garden, was installed across 250 acres in the Bronx. The exhibit opened on May 24, 2008, and can be viewed until November 2, 2008.

The placemarks in the attached KMZ file contain photos of all 20 sculptures. The numbers included in the names of the placemarks correspond to the numbers for the sculpture locations on the map available in the book, Moore in America, and at entrance booths.
