The present article discusses the constitutive aspects of sculpture gardens in the course of time. It elects the temporal and spatial elements present in the current artistic production to build a panoramic analysis of the agreements and tensions treated in this modality of collecting, essentially three-dimensional, postulated by the relationship between art, landscape and nature, in contemporary times. Its background presents general elements of the belonging of these collections to museum or university institutions, analysed from these conceptual concerns.

Keywords: Sculpture gardens. Art and nature. Temporality and Spatiality in art. Garden art collections.
