The Don Quixote Foundation donates €60m to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, The Netherlands for a new public sculpture garden celebrating international artists.

Visitors will be able to enjoy sculptures created by Alberto Giacometti, Louise Bourgeois, Alexander Calder, Jean Arp, Roni Horn and Henry Moore.

The donation will fund the development of the new garden, which will also host temporary sculpture exhibitions once completed.

To be named the Don Quixote Pavilion and Garden at the Rijksmuseum, the garden will feature three pavilions all accessible to the general public.

Taco Dibbits, general director of the Rijksmuseum comments on the new garden:

“This is a donation of historic significance, and a historic moment for the Rijksmuseum. It will give modern sculpture the visibility it deserves. It also marks an unprecedented enhancement of the Rijksmuseum’s collection of 20th-century art.”

The permit application has been submitted with plans for the sculpture garden to open in autumn 2026.
