Sculptures in Silesian Park, Art collection in Silesian Park, Chorzów, Poland
Sculptures in Silesian Park is a collection of artworks spread across the green spaces of the park, creating an open-air gallery experience. The works are positioned along the walking paths and are easily accessible during a visit.
The collection began in the 1950s when a former mining area was converted into a recreational park under the direction of General Jerzy Zietek. This transformation marked the region's shift away from its industrial past toward a new purpose.
The sculptures come from different artists and show modern and traditional styles that shape artistic life in Upper Silesia. They become part of everyday park walks and are naturally discovered by visitors strolling through.
The park is freely accessible during daylight hours and conditions are best in fine weather. Comfortable shoes are recommended since the paths take you through all areas of the park and you may want to linger and observe.
A 16-meter-tall giraffe sculpture marks the entrance to Giraffe Alley and guides visitors along an artistic pathway toward the adjacent zoo. This unexpected bridge between the art path and zoo creates a connected experience.
