The garden is located above the amphitheater seating area and incorporates the amphitheater’s design to create a cohesive space for all to enjoy.

Franklin D. Murphy Sculpture Garden The Sculpture Garden, managed by the UCLA Hammer Museum, serves as an outdoor art-installation for more than 70 sculptures.

Tours of the garden are held on the first Saturday of the month.
