Spontaniškai paslėptas lobis siekiant pakviesti jus apsilankyti ramioje ir dėmesio vertoje Klaipėdos vietoje - skulptūrų parke. 

Čia vienoje vietoje buvo galima rasti net 116 skulptūrų, kurias per 15 kūrimo metų kūrė 67 skirtingi skulptoriai. Dabar skulptūrų skaičius šiek tiek sumenkęs dėl įvairių priežasčių, kaip antai vagysčių pavojaus, nusidėvėjimo ar perkėlimo į kitas vietas.

1820-1959 metais čia veikė Senosios miesto kapinės, kurios vėliau sovietų buvo sulygintos ir nutarta atidaryti parką. Jis įkurtas 1977 metais.

Nuo tada Smiltynėje buvo rengiami ūnikalūs skulptorių granito simpoziumai, kurių metu sukurti gaminiai buvo statomi būtent skulptūrų parke. Unikalūs simpoziumai buvo reikšmingiausia to meto kultūrinė iniciatyva ne tik mieste, bet ir visoje šalyje. Parkas tapo savotiška moderniosios lietuvių skulptūros galerija po atviru dangumi, nuolatos papildoma naujais meno kūriniais, daugelio skulptorių parkui sukurti darbai jų kūrybinėje biografijoje yra vertinami kaip patys geriausi. Net 10 skulptorių iš 67 dalyvavusių simpoziumuose vėliau tapo Nacionalinės kultūros ir meno premijos laureatais.Tokiu būdu parkas puikiai atspindi XX a. pabaigos lietuvių skulptūros tendencijas. Manau, kiekvienas, pasivaikščiojęs parke atras sau mielą skulptūrą.

Klaipeda sculpture park

When was the park created? In 1977.
How many sculptures are there? 116.
How many sculptors created them? 67 (during a period of 15 years).
Where was the park created? On the site of the old city cemetery, that functioned between 1820 and 1959.

Why should you visit the park? See the gallery of modern Lithuanian sculpture under the open sky. Go for a walk to seek traces of Klaipeda‘s history during the period of 19th and the beginning of 20th century (J. L. Wiener‘s grave, the memorial commemorating the joining of Klaipeda region to Lithuania in 1923, the memorable place to victims of the Second World War, the monument for lost at sea and others). Have a rest in the shadow of trees and art.

The Sculpture Park was created in 1977, in the place of the Old Cemetery of the city. According the decision made by the Executive Committee of Klaipėda in 1975, the cemetery had to be eliminated and in its place to form the Sculpture Park. It was announced that everyone, who wants to, can rebury their relatives in the cemetery of Joniškė, which was opened in 1959. Tombs which remained, fences were dismantled, part of them are exhibited in the Blacksmith Museum.

“Right here, as nowhere else, reflects the vandalism act of the Soviet Union based on good intentions” – the historian Viktoras Vareikis wrote this about the establishment of the Sculpture Park.

Between years 1977–1991, in Smiltynė were organized symposiums of sculptors, during that time created works were built in the park. Right now in the 10 ha territory of the park, there are exhibited 116 sculptures in various themes, which were created by 61 sculptor during the first 13 symposiums.
