“A specially-commissioned contemporary artwork by NEON, an award-winning design practice that seeks to explore new territories between architecture, design and art. Inspired by Brown’s designed landscape as a series of picturesque views, or scenes, NEON invites us to follow in the footsteps of Amabel, a member of the Yorke family at Wimpole who immersed herself in the new parkland, and made it the subject of her art.
NEON’s installation of nine three metre high structures, part easel and part viewing glass, encourage us to explore the North Park and look with an artist’s eye….. The viewing glass or mirror alludes to a portable drawing aid called a Claude glass which was popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. It was used by landscape artists and tourists to frame a view.”

The Public Art looks as though it would be worth a visit. Having looked at the website, Wimpole Hall appears to have received considerable attention recently and the grounds look more colourful.
Yes, it is worth a visit and the public art features would make a good focus for a walk enjoying the Capability Brown landscape.
