Franconia Sculpture Park, Outdoor sculpture garden in Franconia Township, Minnesota, US.
The 50-acre outdoor museum displays over 100 rotating contemporary sculptures across natural landscapes including prairie grasslands and deciduous forests.
A group of artists established the park in 1996 on a 16-acre plot before relocating to the current expanded 50-acre location in 2006.
The sculpture park stands on the ancestral Dakota lands of the Wahpekute people, along the Saint Croix River, preserving native cultural connections.
The grounds remain open daily from 8 AM to 8 PM throughout the year, with golf cart rentals available between April and October.
The park functions as an active artist residency program, enabling sculptors to create and install new experimental works specifically for the location.
