The Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP) is situated in the grounds of Bretton Hall, an 18th-century estate near Wakefield which was a family home until the mid-20th century when it became Bretton Hall College. The park functions as a 500-acre open-air gallery showing work by British and international artists, including Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth. The park's collection of works by Moore is one of the largest open-air displays of his bronzes in Europe (LinkExternal link YSP)
