About the Business
Welcome to Berkshire Hills Sculpture Garden
Nestled in the picturesque landscapes of Hillsdale, New York, the Berkshire Hills Sculpture Garden offers a unique fusion of art and nature. Located at 82 County Road 7D, our museum is a testament to the creative vision of sculptor Matt Thomases, who has transformed tranquil farm fields into a vibrant outdoor gallery.
Spanning 15 hilly acres of scenic farmland, the garden features an exciting diversity of sculptures, showcasing Matt's fascination with motion and flotation. As you stroll through the grounds, you'll encounter an array of artworks crafted from various materials, each telling its own story. The garden's layout, which includes woods, hedgerows, and a seasonal stream, provides visitors with stunning views of the Berkshires, including the iconic Catamount Ski Slopes.
Among the remarkable pieces are three towering stained glass and stainless steel sculptures, standing between 12 to 16 feet high. These works captivate with their dynamic interplay of light and color, shifting hues as the sun moves across the sky. The collection also boasts abstract human figures in bronze and fiberglass, dance motions crafted from curved steel rods, and smaller bronze sculptures on distinctive bases.
With over forty years of artistic experience, Matt Thomases has cast more than 60 bronze works and has exhibited his creations in numerous galleries and shows nationwide. To explore more of Matt's art and learn about his journey, visit his website at MattThomases.net.
Conveniently located just 20 minutes from Great Barrington, MA, and 30 minutes from Lenox, MA, and Hudson, NY, the garden is also a manageable 2.5-hour drive from both New York City and Boston. Our paths are designed to be accessible and enjoyable for all visitors. For those with mobility limitations, many sculptures can be admired from the parking area or by taking a short walk.
Plan your visit to the Berkshire Hills Sculpture Garden and immerse yourself in a world where art and nature harmoniously coexist. We invite you to explore, reflect, and be inspired by the extraordinary creations that await you.
