Collection

The sculpture park, developed over nearly 40 years, is at the heart of the organization, with close to 80 permanent works spread across 40 hectares of beech forest and historic milieus. Every year, artists from around the world are invited to create site-specific temporary works, with select pieces joining the permanent collection.

At Wanås, “permanent” is a fluid concept, as nature is allowed to influence both the experience and durability of the artworks. Some works are created to naturally break down over time and eventually cease to exist, while others are more performative or have built-in temporal aspects. Certain works in the permanent collection are displayed only occasionally.
