deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum

 deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum Established in 1950, deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum is the largest park of its kind in New England encompassing 30 acres, 20 miles west of Boston. ... Providing a constantly changing landscape of large-scale, outdoor, modern and contemporary sculpture and site-specific installations, the Sculpture Park hosts more than 60 works, the majority of which are on loan to the Museum. Inside, the Museum features a robust slate of rotating exhibitions and innovative interpretive programming.

Julian and Elizabeth deCordova remodeled their home in 1910 to look like a castle. They gave their property to the town of Lincoln, Massachusetts with the stipulation that it would become a public museum after his death. 
Two Big Black Hearts by Jim Dine reminded me of the Dancing Hares in Dublin, Ohio. Jim Dine, the artist, included items such as hands, faces, seashells, hammers, and other tools in the sculptures. The two hearts were cast from the same mold.

Listening Stone by Joseph Wheelwright
Otter by Rona Pondick
very strange, almost unsettling to look at
The head is a self portrait of the artist
The castle & Lincoln by DeWitt Godfrey
Children were having fun playing in the cylinders
