Surrounded by houses and small businesses, you’ll find a quirky landscape filled with large statues of people, places, things – and other sculptures that may not make any sense at all! It’s a quick trip, but this public park has been completely transformed into a strange and wonderful display of just how creative – and weird – public art can truly be.
