Skulpturenpark Köln, Sculpture garden in Neustadt-Nord, Germany
The Skulpturenpark Köln is an outdoor exhibition space for contemporary artworks, located between Zoobrücke and Riehler Straße in the city's northern section. The collection features pieces by international artists arranged across the park grounds within these boundaries.
The park was established in 1997 through the initiative of art collector Dr. Michael Stoffel, who transformed an undeveloped green area into an exhibition venue. This founding marked the beginning of ongoing activity in contemporary sculpture display.
The space presents changing artworks that directly engage visitors with contemporary art outdoors, inviting personal responses to the pieces on display. This open exhibition approach allows people to encounter art within everyday surroundings without entering formal gallery spaces.
The park is accessible daily to visitors, with visiting hours that vary between warmer and colder seasons. Comfortable shoes are recommended since artworks are explored along different pathways.
The exhibitions rotate on a regular schedule, with curators bringing fresh perspectives on current global issues each time. Through these changing collections, the park addresses questions like artificial intelligence and climate change through artistic works.
