Glenstone Museum

Glenstone combines art, architecture, and nature in the serene landscape of Maryland. An exceptional group of contemporary and post-war masterpieces are staged in the pavilions designed by Thomas Phifer, which overlook a pond and are illuminated almost exclusively by natural light. Rotating presentations by Charles Ray and permanent pieces by Richard Serra, Michael Heizer, Cy Twombly, and Robert Gober anchor the displays, which attain a seamless integration of natural beauty and rigorous precision. The landscape – designed by PWP Landscape Architecture – features paths, trails, streams, meadows and forests which hosts outdoor sculptures and interventions by Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Jeff Koons, Ellsworth Kelly, Andy Goldworthy, and Tony Smith, among others.
