THE Bermuda National Gallery celebrated its 15th anniversary yesterday with the official opening of the sculpture garden in Par-la-Ville Park. The garden was dedicated to the late John Hinson Young II and his wife Nelga, who bequeathed their extensive collection of modern art to the gallery last year.

It had been Mr. Young's desire to create a museum without walls and as such, three sculptures from the Young collection — Enzo Plazzotta's balletic Jeté, Berthold Schiwetz's bronze Praying Mantis Fountain and George Gach's Birds of Flight — were recently installed at the park alongside a fourth Shona sculpture (pictured at yesterday's opening) by Zimbabwean artist Jonothan Mhondorohuma.
