Skulpturenpark Köln
The Skulpturenpark Köln is a museum for contemporary sculpture in the open air. The approximately 35,000 square meter park is an oasis of peace and contemplation in the hustle and bustle of the city and a place to experience contemporary art first-hand. It is located between Zoobrücke, Konrad-Adenauer-Ufer and Riehler Straße. Every two years, the Stiftung Skulpturenpark Köln appoints an independent curator who then curates the following KölnSkulptur according to his or her own conceptual ideas. Each production redefines and reinterprets the Skulpturenpark Köln with current positions of contemporary outdoor sculpture.
The Skulpturenpark Köln is currently presenting itself between its temporary exhibitions. There is now a rare opportunity to explore the park and its permanently installed artworks– including a large number of works on loan from the Michael und Eleonore Stoffel Stiftung and from artists and galleries, some of which have been on display since the Skulpturenpark Köln opened in 1997.
In 2027, the Skulpturenpark Köln will celebrate its 30th anniversary with the upcoming exhibition KölnSkulptur #12.
»The Skulpturenpark Köln is a magical place – wonderful nature and contemporary sculpture become perceptible anew in the interplay of the seasons.«
