In Spring 2003 the DeCordova Board of Trustees announced Securing the Future: The Fund for DeCordova. The Fund is a $10,000,000 capital campaign encompassing the implementation of a Landscape Master Plan for the complete DeCordova property; the construction of an addition to the main DeCordova Museum building for collections storage, conservation, and exhibition preparation purposes; and an endowment component to support the operation of these new facilities and maintain the Park.

The Securing the Future campaign is focused on a vision to transform DeCordova into a twenty-first century “indoor and outdoor” museum. It recognizes that the Sculpture Park is DeCordova’s unique asset—unlike any other comparable venue in the Northeast—and provides a superb setting in which to present our collections, exhibitions, and education programs.

A significant new feature on the landscape is the Visitor Station, a 60-foot long aluminum crescent designed by artist/architect Wellington Reiter of Newton-based Urban Instruments, Inc. The Visitor Station will provide a first point of orientation for visitors, as well as serve as the service point for the collection of admission fees, a transaction currently handled inside the Museum building. See documentation on the construction of the Visitor Station or read more about this functional sculpture and its architect.

We hope that you will support this vision for DeCordova’s future, and join this campaign to help that vision become a reality.
