Tate Modern mounted a moderate-sized Henry Moore exhibition just last year, but the vast Turbine Hall dwarfed even his largescale commissions.

The Dulwich Picture Gallery is a far more sympathetic space, and the exhibition is set to take over, spilling into the dedicated exhibition rooms and outdoor space. Thanks to loans from the Sainsbury Collection and The Henry Moore Foundation, some of his most monumental bronzes will be reclining in the garden, while tiny ironstone pebble carvings will be flanked by works on paper.

More abstract forms mingle with hallmark themes, such as the mother and child and the family group.

Wed 12 May-Sun 12 Sep, Dulwich Picture Gallery, Gallery Road, SE21 (020-8693 5254).
