A Sculpture Park or Sculpture Garden is an outdoor garden dedicated to the presentation of sculptures and installations in a landscaped surrounding.
In this category outdoor gardens and parks are mentioned where Modern and Contemporary (20th and 21st Century) sculptures are permanently or temporarely exhibited. Examples of sculpture collections in inner-cities as Olympic Sculpture Park or Skulpturenmeile Hannover, though not real Parks or Gardens, are included because of their (semi)permanent character.
The majority of the Parks and Gardens is part of or connected to a Museum, others are non-commercially initiated and operated by an Art Center or an Art Foundation, thus guaranteeing the quality of the works by renowned artists on show. Parks and Gardens mainly operated as or in close connection with an Art Gallery (or the Artist him- or herself), although the works can be of outstanding quality, are for the reason of their commercial character not listed here.
Environmental sculpture, developed during the Twentieth Century by artist/sculptors such as David Smith, Tony Smith, Richard Serra, George Segal, Edward Kienholz and Christo, is a category on itself, but is exhibited in most Sculpture Parks in this category.
