Glenstone is a private contemporary art museum located in Potomac, Maryland, USA. Founded by Emily Wei Rales and Mitchell Rales, it opened its doors to the public in 2006 but underwent significant expansion and renovation, culminating in a major reopening in 2018. The museum's mission is to integrate art, architecture, and landscape into a seamless and immersive experience for visitors.
One of Glenstone's unique features is its extensive outdoor sculpture garden, which showcases a wide range of contemporary sculptures in a beautiful natural setting. The museum's grounds cover approximately 230 acres, and they are carefully landscaped to create a harmonious environment for both art and nature.
Glenstone offers nearly 300 acres of landscape integrated with the architecture and art. The landscape includes paths, trails, streams, meadows, forests and outdoor sculptures throughout the grounds which showcases a wide range of contemporary sculptures in a beautiful natural setting. The museum's grounds are carefully landscaped to create a harmonious environment for both art and nature.
I have first visited this place in February, here are the photos taken from second visit in September when the grounds are decorated with colorful wildflowers and grasses; clouds hang higher in the blue sky! It was truly a special experience to enjoy art, architecture and landscape all in one place!
