The 'Cells of Life' earthwork installation consists of eight landforms and a series of causeways surrounding a central lake.
The site includes a permanent collection of over 30 bespoke sculptures that were commissioned specifically for the landscape.
Bonnington House, the manor located on the grounds, is a 19th-century building that serves as the heart of the estate.
Artist Anya Gallaccio created 'The Light Pours Out of Me', a subterranean grotto lined with amethyst quartz.
The park was founded by art collectors Robert and Nicky Wilson in 2009.
Several of the installations, such as Marc Quinn's 'Love Bomb', explore the intersection of organic growth and artificial materials.
Jupiter Artland is a private contemporary sculpture park situated on the 100-acre estate of Bonnington House near Edinburgh. The site features over 30 permanent site-specific installations integrated into the landscape, created by international artists such as Charles Jencks, Phyllida Barlow, and Antony Gormley. The park landscape was designed by Charles Jencks, featuring his signature landform architecture including the 'Cells of Life' land art mound. Beyond the permanent collection, the site hosts rotating temporary exhibitions within the restored farmstead buildings. Visitors navigate a network of woodland trails and meadows to view the large-scale artworks. The estate remains a privately owned residence that opens to the public on a seasonal basis. It combines fine art with expansive horticultural design, including integrated water features and wild meadows.
