Västertorp sculpture park

Västertorp sculpture park is an outdoor art garden featuring permanent sculptures distributed across landscaped grounds throughout the site. The park functions as an open-air gallery where artworks are displayed among trees and green spaces without walls or roof constraints.

The park was established in 1955 as part of Stockholm's effort to bring art into residential areas where people live. This initiative represented an important step in making sculpture accessible to the general public in everyday neighborhoods.

The park displays works from multiple Swedish artists, showcasing different approaches to sculpture that visitors can explore as they walk through the grounds. The artworks are distributed throughout the green space, allowing people to encounter various artistic expressions and techniques during their visit.

The park is free to visit daily and welcomes people throughout the year without entrance fees or time restrictions. Its location near public transportation makes it easy to reach, and you can explore the grounds at your own pace whenever you have time.

Each sculpture is positioned with deliberate spacing between pieces, allowing you to examine the artworks from multiple viewpoints and angles. This arrangement creates unexpected perspectives and views as you move through the park, making each path feel like a different experience.
