The Franklin D. Murphy Sculpture Garden is a renowned outdoor sculpture collection located on the UCLA campus in Los Angeles, CA. Spanning over five acres, the garden showcases more than 70 modern and contemporary sculptures by notable artists such as Hans Arp, Alexander Calder, and Auguste Rodin. Designed to integrate art into everyday life, the garden provides a harmonious setting for study and contemplation, with its distinctive flora, informal seating areas, and open lawns.

Dedicated in 1967 by UCLA's third chancellor, Franklin D. Murphy, the Sculpture Garden was created in collaboration with architect Ralph D. Cornell. The park-like setting features three distinctive areas, including a formal plaza, a walkway lined with South African coral trees, and a sloping lawn with curving pathways. Visitors are invited to explore and appreciate the interplay of art and nature, making it a must-visit destination for art enthusiasts and those seeking a peaceful and inspiring environment.
