About
The Doherty Sculpture Park is a new art and cultural experience that will host a world-class collection of modern and contemporary sculptures. Built as an outdoor museum, the park will present temporary rotating sculpture exhibitions that will celebrate Ireland's rich artistic heritage, as well as showcasing internationally renowned sculptures.
Ireland boasts a wealth of talented artists, and we believe it's time to celebrate their creativity by establishing a new sculpture park in the country. Our vision is to create a one-of-a-kind park that will feature works from both local and international artists, providing a platform for unique and innovative expressions of art.
Upon arriving at Burtown House, guests will have the opportunity to indulge in a plethora of activities and facilities, making for a complete experience, whether for a day trip or a weekend getaway. These offerings include wandering through the 160-acre sculpture park, browsing the indoor gallery, dining at the Green Barn restaurant, treating oneself at Jo's Pantry, and venturing over to The Stable Yard.
The park is set to open during 2026.
