Parikkala Sculpture Park, Outdoor sculpture garden in Koitsanlahti, Finland.

The park contains 500 concrete statues spread across half a hectare of land, featuring human figures engaged in various activities and poses.

Veijo Rönkkönen started the project in 1961 with his first paper mill paycheck, purchasing apple tree seedlings and concrete for his artistic vision.

The collection includes 255 concrete figures performing yoga positions, reflecting the artist's interest in global physical practices through sculptural representation.

Located at 21-23 Tiviäntie in Parikkala, the outdoor exhibition remains open every day and night without entrance fees throughout the year.

Several sculptures incorporate real human teeth into their design, creating an unconventional artistic expression within the natural environment.
