Henry Moore (1898–1986) made sculpture—reclining figures, interlocking forms, massive bronzes—that seemed to belong to the land rather than sit on top of it. Kew Gardens is now putting 30 of these works across its 300 acres of historic grounds, from the Palm House to the lake, in the largest outdoor presentation of Moore’s work ever staged. A further 90 smaller pieces—including drawings, models, and sketchbooks—are on view inside the Shirley Sherwood Gallery. —Elena Clavarino
