Lanu-puisto, Sculpture park in Lahti, Finland
The park contains twelve concrete sculptures integrated within a deciduous forest near Vesijärvi lake, featuring works depicting human figures in various poses.
Between 1989 and 1992, sculptor Olavi Lanu worked with students from Lahti Institute of Arts to create all twelve sculptures at a rate of three pieces per year.
The sculptures reflect Finnish artistic methods through concrete forms imitating natural materials like stone and branches, while depicting human activities modeled after local residents.
Located one and a half kilometers from central Lahti, the park offers mobile guides for visitors to learn about each sculpture while walking through the forest paths.
The concrete sculptures have developed moss coverings over time, fulfilling the artist's intention for the artworks to merge with the surrounding natural environment.
