Baemikkumi Sculpture Park

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 park's name comes from local dialect: 'baemit', the hold of a ship, and 'kkumi', a hole, after the island's shape seen from a vessel's bottom. The grounds hold around a hundred modern and abstract surrealist sculptures on the theme of eroticism, and the park drew wider attention after appearing in Kim Ki-duk's film Time.

The park lies on Modo Island in Ongjin County, and Incheon International Airport is the nearest major arrival point. The sculptures stand outdoors along the shore, so check the weather before setting out and allow time to walk the length of the grounds.

The park appeared in Kim Ki-duk's 2006 film Time, which brought it wider attention. The name comes from the local dialect: baemit means the hold of a ship and kkumi the nearest word for a hole, describing how the island looks from a ship's bottom.
