A sculpture garden is a room defined from a statue. They act as meeting places for dwarves and tame animals, who tend to gather at sculpture gardens. When dwarves take a break in the sculpture garden, they tend to admire the statue the room is defined from, and no others. Therefore, you should define the room from your highest value statue. Multiple statues in the same room will make the primary statue 'tastefully arranged'. The secondary statues can be of any material and it will still grant this benefit to the primary statue. Occasionally an idle dwarf will host a party at the statue, and dwarves who attend will have a chance to make friends.
Disadvantages
The major problem with setting up a sculpture garden is that it will encourage your dwarves to throw parties. While parties have some virtues, they are generally regarded as a waste of important labor time. Fortunately, parties started at a sculpture garden are easily stopped. Simply free the room, and the party is over.
Advantages
Despite the problem with parties, there are some definite advantages to be had from sculpture gardens, especially when augmented by other things beloved of dwarves. An external garden (hopefully in some sort of surface keep) will prevent or treat cave adaptation for a large number of your dwarves. A garden also tends to be the favorite play area of dwarven children and off-duty soldiers, which makes it much more likely that a soldier will be handy when a goblin snatcher shows up. Combined with the extra spot checks from all the farm animals loitering there, a garden turns out to be a remarkably safe place.
Gardens are an excellent place to install some types of artifact furniture, since the dwarves will loiter there and have a greater chance of observing the magnificent creation. Even if an artifact floodgate is not blocking any fluid, dwarves still enjoy seeing it in built in the middle of a garden. With a few miscellaneous masterwork objects (grates, levers, weapon racks, etc.) a trip to the garden can easily make a dwarf's year -- and happy dwarves are hard-working dwarves.
