Baemikkumi Sculpture Park, Sculpture garden on Modo Island, South Korea.
Baemikkumi Sculpture Park is an outdoor space on Modo Island featuring over one hundred modern and abstract surrealist artworks. The installations are spread throughout the grounds and create a varied experience as visitors walk through the park.
Artist Lee Il-ho originally founded this place as a private studio. Over time it developed into a public sculpture park with numerous works on display.
The works on the grounds use surreal forms that blend into the natural landscape. Visitors can enjoy views of the West Sea coast in the background as they walk through.
The park is easy to explore on foot around the island with accessible pathways. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since the grounds are hilly and involve considerable walking.
The name comes from local dialect words 'baemit' and 'kkumi' referring to the shape of a hole seen from a ship's bottom. This poetic connection to the island's maritime past shapes the place's identity today.
