Henry Moore is here! Moore in America: Monumental Sculpture at The New York Botanical Garden opened to the public on Saturday, and the weather couldn’t have been nicer. Plenty of Memorial Day revelers took in the sun and the sights of Henry Moore’s sculpture across the Garden. Plenty of people are taking notice, with many naming Moore in America one of summer’s hottest tickets, like:

Time Out New York, which listed Moore in America as the “best by day” for Saturday. In their write-up reviewer Dan Avery says, “How fortunate, then, that these works of art are in an environment that is itself a work of art.” Thanks, Dan!

Associated Press writer Leanne Italie mentioned the Garden and the Moore exhibit in her rundown of kid-friendly NYC adventures this summer. The piece was picked up by hundreds of outlets including Yahoo! and the Poughkeepsie Journal.

WNET’s local spotlight, New York Voices, featured Darwin’s Garden: An Evolutionary Adventure on May 20. For those of you who missed it, the episode is now available online in its entirety.

The New York Times has a full-color photo slideshow of the Moore exhibit. Nice!

The Village Voice has a nice rundown of the amazing eats of the Bronx’s Little Italy, just a few blocks from the Garden.
