A '''Sculpture garden''' is a [[room]] defined around a [[statue]] or unengraved [[slab]].

Dwarves tend to throw a lot of parties at Sculpture gardens. While this can be an effective way for dwarves to make [[friend]]s, it can also waste valuable labor time. Thankfully, ending the party is as simple as {{k|q}}uerying the statue and {{k|f}}reeing the room, though it does mean the room needs to be designated again.

If a sculpture garden is private (assigned to a particular dwarf) then that dwarf will hang out there in preference to communal meeting places.  This is useful if you want a particular dwarf to hang out at a particular place when idle or [[on break]].

A sculpture garden is a meeting area containing at least one statue, unengraved slab or museum. Sculpture gardens can be assigned to locations (such as a tavern, temple or library) or left unassigned, for communal enjoyment. A communal (non-assigned) garden, being a meeting area, provides a place for idle dwarves and animals to congregate and socialize.

Advantages over dining rooms[edit]

The biggest advantage a sculpture garden has over a dining room is simplicity. Since dwarves are not going to eat in it, there is no need to build tables or chairs to accommodate them. As such, there is plenty of room to put in all sorts of valuable furniture, which can give your dwarves positive emotions – furthermore, all furniture in a sculpture garden will be "tastefully arranged", potentially increasing the dwarves' emotional responses. As well, since only a statue or slab is required, it is easy to create a sculpture garden outside. This is very useful to prevent cave adaptation and can double as an early warning system against thieves and snatchers.

Disadvantages[edit]

Unassigned sculpture gardens don't possess the same interactivity and bonuses of locations. Having a sculpture garden separate from other locations ultimately comes down to player preference.

Private gardens[edit]

If a statue is placed in a private zone (assigned to a particular dwarf) it will increase the emotional response the owner gets from admiring the furniture inside it (on top of the existing bonus for being "tastefully arranged").
