A unique cultural destination On the first island of the Aaristo Ring Road, in an area rich in cultural history and natural values. An open, quiet, nearly 300-year-old log manor, changing contemporary art, ancient majestic gnarled trees, the expressions of today’s sculptors, and the life buzzing in the summer light — all presented equally, inviting curiosity, and of interest internationally. The public collection of the wooden sculpture garden is alive and evolving, shaped by nature.
We give space, time, to be human, to reflect on values. The only time to make a better future is right now.
