The Donald M. Kendall Sculpture Garden features a collection of 20th-century sculpture set within 168 landscaped acres surrounding the world headquarters of PepsiCo.

The PepsiCo office building, which opened in 1970, was designed by Edward Durrell Stone (architect of Washington's Kennedy Center). Three prominent landscape designers - E.D. Stone Jr. (the architect's son), Russell Page, and Francois Goffinet - had a hand in laying out the grounds, which are meant to complement the 45 sculptures and serve as works of art themselves.

Smaller pieces by Henry Moore, Seymour Lipton, Henri Laurens, and others fill the building's courtyard, which is shaded by trees and filled with flowers and a central fountain. Monumental works, including pieces by Alexander Calder, George Segal, Isamu Noguchi, Claes Oldenburg, Louise Nevelson, Jean Dubuffet, and David Smith, are spaced throughout the grounds. A "Golden Path," the inspiration of Russell Page, winds its way past the sculptures and through the various landscapes, offering walkers an opportunity to see the art - both natural and manmade - from many perspectives.

The grounds include a lake; a stream garden; lily ponds; an iris garden and perennial garden; two woodland gardens; topiary; and groves of birch, oak, sequoia, and many other species. A detailed map of the sculpture garden is available at the Visitor Center. PepsiCo welcomes the public as its guests, picnicking is allowed in a designated area.
