The DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum is an art museum in Lincoln, Massachusetts, founded in 1950 by the will of Julian de Cordova, a Boston area businessman, traveler, and art collector. It is focused on modern and contemporary art, with a particular emphasis on American sculpture. Its highlight is a 35-acre (140,000 m²) park with approximately 75 outdoor sculptures and installations; it also has an indoor gallery, studio art school, and function spaces. The park's permanent collection is small but important, including works by Sol LeWitt, Ursula von Rydingsvard, Alexander Liberman, and Nam June Paik. Additionally, the park shows prominent works on loan, and rotating installations of new work.
