Forays through sculpture parks
Baden-Baden
The initiators of the sculpture exhibition "Through the Open" have made a virtue out of necessity. Because the Kunsthalle Baden-Baden is undergoing renovation, the art has been relocated outside. Visitors can stroll through the museum's park until September 7th and enjoy the works of eleven sculptors - including Katharina Fritsch, Thomas Schütte and Olaf Metzel. Kunsthalle Baden-Baden

Philosophy and art is good, at least at the University of Gießen. An art path connects the two building complexes of the philosophy. If you follow the path, you will pass through Stephan Balkenhol's "Man in the Tower", Gerhard Marck's "Cowering Stallion", Ulrich Rückriem's "Tor" and eleven other sculptures. Gießener Kunstweg
Cologne
Actually, the area between the zoo and the Rhine is firmly in the hands of motorists. But who is traveling there on foot, can make a nice discovery. On a small patch of green, the Sculpture Park has settled, where you can still see the exhibition "Cologne Sculpture 3" until September. 30 works have been exhibited here - by renowned artists such as Jenny Holzer, Jörg Immendorf, Stephan Balkenhol, Rosemarie Trockel, Jorge Pardo and others.

Claes Oldenburg, Soft Inverted Q, 1976-79
The Sculpture Garden was laid out in the Museum Abteiberg on the occasion of the State Garden Show Euroga 2002. But even a year later, the beautifully situated park with works by Claes Oldenburg, Jorge Pardo, Stefan Kern and others is still worth a visit. Museum Abteiberg
Neuss
The 20-hectare parkland on the island of Hombroich offers plenty of space for art. Here, Erwin Heerich has created twelve pavilions that - even art - record other works of art. The spectrum ranges from Chinese figures from the Han period to works by Lovis Corinth, Kurt Schwitters and Hans Arp. In the park you will find numerous sculptures by Anatol Herzfeld, one of the artists who have their studio on the island. Hombroich Island
Neustrelitz
When nature and art meet, for example, something like the "Art Trail around Lake Zierker See" arises. The special feature: The art objects are all made of natural materials. Since they always stay at their locations, they are exposed to the weather and are constantly changing. With every visit there is something new to discover here. Neustrelitz
Saarbrucken
The Sculpture Garden of the Saarland Museum invites you to stroll along the banks of the Saar. One of the star pieces: Aristide Maillol's bronze sculpture "Vénus sans bras". She is in good company with Fritz Wotruba's "Standing Figure". Also on display are sculptures and sculptures by Ansgar Nierhoff, Francesco Marino di Teana, Wilhelm Loth and Anthony Caro.
