Jupiter Artland is a contemporary sculpture park and art gallery outside the city of Edinburgh, Scotland. Jupiter Artland Foundation is a registered charity that is supported by classes, workshops, events, ticket sales, and donations.
It is open to general visits between May and September.
Jupiter Artland sits in the grounds of Bonnington House, a 19th-century country house around {{convert|16|km}} west of the city of Edinburgh.
The grounds of the house have been developed as the sculpture park and two new wings designed by Benjamin Tindall Architects were completed in 2015 to provide indoor gallery space.{{cite web |url=http://www.jupiterartland.org/story |title=Story |publisher=Jupiter Artland |accessdate=29 April 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140715014614/http://www.jupiterartland.org/story |archive-date=15 July 2014 |url-status=dead }}
