Did you know that in Gyeonggi Province’s Gimpo City, which borders North Korea, there exists the world’s only theme park created around the theme of "unification"?
Established in 1998 by a group of renowned artists, including Giovanni Anselmo, the Gimpo International Sculpture Park was designed to spread the message of peace and unification through the medium of sculpture. About 30 sculptures (14 from international artists and 16 from domestic artists) themed around unification grace the 70,000㎡ park, intertwined with lush vegetation.
This park strives for harmony among nature, art, and humanity, creating an ideal natural art space where art and the public can interact. Imagine exploring beautiful artworks that convey wishes for peace and unification, set against the backdrop of scenic Mt. Munsu, where you can catch glimpses of North Korea.
Strolling through the park and discovering various sculptures is truly enjoyable. Visitors appreciate tactile engagement with the art as they are free to touch and lean against the sculptures.
If you love the harmony of art and nature, the Gimpo International Sculpture Park is a must-visit destination. It’s also a perfect place to explore using carbon-neutral travel methods.
How about planning a visit this weekend with family or a loved one, enjoy some relaxation, and admire the stunning sculptures?
