The Permanent collection of Outdoor Art

See the permanent collection housed in the Underground Gallery >>

The 14 acres of garden and architecture at Rimbun Dahan provide the perfect setting for a number of examples of outdoor art, ranging from grand sculpture and murals to smaller installations of found objects. All the works were created by former resident artists at Rimbun Dahan.
