The $70m Calder Gardens is a unique space serving as both a celebration of the artist’s work and a meticulously landscaped oasis on the city’s grandest boulevard

Calder Gardens, which will be housed in a Herzog & de Meuron-designed building on Benjamin Franklin Parkway, has also appointed a senior director of programmes

The $70m centre will feature indoor and outdoor spaces with rotating exhibitions of Calder’s work

The non-profit space, likened to the Rothko Chapel in Houston, will offer visitors a place to introspectively connect with Calder's work
