Plans have been unveiled for a sculpture garden<\/a> beside the Rijksmuseum<\/a> in Amsterdam<\/a>, which will see three brick pavilions<\/a> renovated by British architecture studio Foster + Partners<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The garden, named the Don Quixote Pavilion and Garden at the Rijk<\/a>smuseum<\/a>, will merge two existing gardens into a single riverside plot facing the museum<\/a>‘s eastern wing.<\/p>\n

Three brick pavilions built in the Amsterdam School style currently occupy the site and will be updated and transformed into exhibition spaces by Foster + Partners<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Alongside this, the garden will be designed by Belgian landscape architect Piet Blanckaert<\/a> and will include sculptures by renowned artists Alberto Giacometti, Louise Bourgeois, Alexander Calder\u00a0and Henry Moore.<\/p>\n

“The sculpture garden will be situated just a stone’s throw from the Rijksmuseum,” the museum said. “Three existing pavilions and their adjoining gardens will be merged to form a single sculpture garden.”<\/p>\n

“The pavilions, built in the Amsterdam School style, will be open to the public for the first time,” it added.<\/p>\n

Renders of the Don Quixote Pavilion and Garden at the Rijksmuseum depict a lush garden carved with winding walkways and populated with sculptures. According to the museum, 22 trees will be added to the site.<\/p>\n

The pavilions will be situated at the garden’s southern end and each retain their pitched volumes of varying scales. Glazed openings at their fronts will overlook the surrounding garden.<\/p>\n

The project is being funded by a \u20ac60 million donation by the Don Quixote Foundation and is expected to open in Autumn 2026.<\/p>\n

Once complete, the garden will provide a publicly-accessible space and be used to host temporary sculpture exhibitions.<\/p>\n
