PICASSO SCULPTURE

Fine arts museum

Inaugurated in 1965, this curious gray and white totem pole was created by the Norwegian artist Carl Nesjar, based on a model by Picasso, who expressly approved the project. This monumental sculpture, which is one of the largest works of its kind in the world, is 15 m high. The pillar has a diameter of 1.65 m and has two "wings", one of which weighs 8 tons! The statue was made of natural concrete, which means that liquid white cement was injected into a mold filled with a mixture of stones. The surface is so hard that it should last 2,000 years!

PILANE

Fine arts museum

On a historic site dating from the Iron Age, located on a green hill, are scattered a dozen sculptures by contemporary artists from around the world.

It is as if these contemporary sculptures had always been there. This museum is the brainchild of Peter Lennby, who will be happy to show you his park if he is in the area.
