One of just 10 sculpture parks in the United States and the only sculpture park of its size in Ohio, Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park and Museum is a 265-acre park and outdoor museum showcasing beautiful works of art. Displaying more than 50 pieces of monumental art, Pyramid Hill's scenic setting provides a peaceful getaway for every visitor. The park also features hiking trails, an arboretum, indoor pavilion, wall garden, lakes, picnic areas, amphitheater, and activities for both adults and children.

The Ancient Sculpture Museum is now open! This rare attraction exhibits various pieces of ancient sculpture dating from the Roman Empire, the Egyptian Dynasties, the ancient Greek civilization and the Etruscan culture. The collection is one of the largest collections in the Midwest and features many rare items not exhibited in other museums. The collection was assembled only from purchases made from the international auction houses of Sotheby’s and Christie’s. These two houses hold international auctions in antiquities in New York City in June and December of each year so that collectors and museums from all over the world can come to bid on the items offered.
