Brookgreen Gardens is a non-profit garden museum and wildlife site located in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. Founded in 1931 by Archer and Anna Hyatt Huntington, it preserves native plants and wildlife while displaying sculpture and other artworks within a broad, natural setting, and it operates as a National Historic Landmark with the country’s most significant collection of figurative sculpture. The organization also runs a coastal-accredited zoo, serving visitors who seek cultural, artistic, and educational experiences in a single, expansive venue along the South Carolina coast. In addition to its permanent collections and zoological offerings, Brookgreen has expanded its facilities and programming in recent years, including the development of a new conservatory and welcome center. The venue draws on its historical and natural assets to attract a regional audience of museum-goers, art enthusiasts, and families seeking day-trip experiences.
