April showers bring May flowers! Spring at last! Now it is a pleasure to go out into nature again. For those of us friends of sculpture, of course, that means keeping the season opening of the sculpture parks in mind.
Here are some links to the opening festivities - a selection
Sunday, 01 May 2011: Austria Sculpture Park, Graz (AT): www.skulpturenpark.at
Sunday, 15 May 2011: Sculpture Park Cologne (DE): www.skulpturenparkkoeln.de
Sunday, 22 May 2011: Blickachsen 8, Bad Homburg (DE): www.blickachsen.de
Many parks are open year round and do not feature separate opening celebrations. However, many sculpture parks start new exhibitions or include new objects in spring. A look at their websites is recommended, for example the sites of the Yorkshire Sculpture Park in England (www.ysp.co.uk) or the sculpture park Schönthal Monastery in Switzerland (www.schoenthal.ch) <cite>.</cite>
