Sculpture Park of Nagyharsány

In the abandoned stone mine of Szársomlyó-hegy sculptors have been working from 1967 whose experiments well overpassed the possibilities of public place sculpture of that time. The mine bay full of non-figurative sculptures provides a touching view.  Most of the sculptures were made from grey limestone from Nagyharsány and Beremend. The cultural and art historical significance of the Sculpture Park lies in the fact that it was here where sculptors had an opportunity to freely experiment for the first time in Hungary.
