The Nancy A. Nasher and David J. Haemisegger Family Sculpture Garden
“David and I have long envisioned expanding the Nasher Museum to include a substantial outdoor art space and garden. This significant project marks a new chapter for the museum, amplifying its impact worldwide and offering an important platform for diverse experiences and perspectives.” — Nancy A. Nasher
Duke University has received $5 million from Nancy A. Nasher and David J. Haemisegger to expand and redesign the Nasher Museum of Art’s outdoor arts space.
The Nancy A. Nasher and David J. Haemisegger Family Sculpture Garden will create 270 degrees of walkable landscape for visitors, with accessible pathways and green spaces for community gatherings and events. The project also celebrates native plants and showcases art outdoors.
Groundbreaking began in late February 2024 and is expected to last 18 months.
