Harry T. Wilks’ passion for art, nature, and education inspired him to establish Pyramid Hill for his community. Today, the Park is one of the largest sculpture Parks in the country and was recently recognized as the USA Today’s Readers’ Choice #4 Best Sculpture Park in America. Visitors from the Greater Cincinnati region and from around the world enjoy the Park’s natural beauty alongside monumental sculpture, antiquities collection, and rotating contemporary exhibitions.
"Founder’s Day is a great time to discover Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park. After two months of cold weather, our community is ready to look forward to warmer temperatures and all the great events the Park will be hosting this year. The Park is full of art and nature year-round, but this is a day to celebrate the community and our shared history." says Sarah Templeton Wilson, Executive Director of Pyramid Hill.
The iconic Pyramid House, reopened in 2023, is now home to the Park’s antiquities collection, as well as information about the home’s design and creation. To give more insight into the Pyramid House Collection, Dr. Steven Tuck, Professor of History at Miami University, will give two lectures about the antiquities in the Pyramid House collection. Dr. Tuck’s expertise is in Roman Art and Architecture, and this year he will give two new themed talks:
Sunday, March 9 at 11AM | Myth & Storytelling in Antiquity
Step into the world of mythology and storytelling. This guided tour will reveal the fascinating myths and legends behind select antiquities in the Pyramid House collection.
Sunday, March 9 at 1PM | Decorating in Antiquity
Walk through history as you discover how Harry T. Wilks blended modern amenities with ancient relics in the unique design of the Pyramid House. Learn how these same artifacts would have adorned homes in antiquity, bridging the past and present through design.
Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park will announce their season highlights during Founder’s Day celebrations including a new partnership with the McCloskey Wonder Museum and open a new exhibit featuring work by Kim Radochia, one of the contemporary outdoor sculptors with works at the Park. In addition to her piece, Swirl, on display just outside of the Visitor Center, Radochia's newest exhibition, Botanical Fantastical will be opening at the Gallery Museum on Founder’s Day. Botanical Fantastical is a meditation on movement in nature. Radochia explores the study of ‘li’, an ancient Chinese practice of gathering and organizing the extraordinary patterns found in nature on every scale. Radochia’s passion for botany through her community meadow projects inspired this exhibit’s sculptural wall work and colorful kinetic sculptures evoking the forms and movement of plants. The exhibition will be open Saturday, March 8 through Sunday, July 27, 2025 at the Gallery Museum. Radochia will also hold a series of workshops at the end of April.

As a regular visitor, I read the description of Pyramid Hill and was impressed by how harmoniously art, nature, and education are combined. Such places inspire and allow you to feel that space can be not just a territory, but a real environment for the development of the soul. It reminded me of the concept of a modern living space where nature and comfort coexist. If you are also attracted to the idea of harmony between nature and architecture, I recommend taking a look at piemont — it has created an atmosphere of calm, aesthetics, and space where you can not only live but also be inspired every day.
