Sculptures sur Granit de Laongo, Open-air sculpture museum in Laongo, Burkina Faso
Natural granite outcrops display monumental sculptures created by international artists across a vast rocky landscape located thirty-five kilometers from Ouagadougou.
The first international symposium in 1989 gathered eighteen sculptors from thirteen countries to establish this outdoor art collection in the Burkinabe landscape.
The sculptures incorporate African mythology, abstract forms, and human figures, representing the artistic diversity and cultural expression of multiple continents.
Visitors can select between guided tours with symposium participants or independent exploration using an informative booklet available at the entrance.
Sixty international artists have permanently modified the natural granite formations through seven creative symposiums held between 1989 and 2003.
