Umedalen skulpturpark is an art exhibition and a sculpture garden in Umeå in Sweden.

History

An art exhibition was arranged in Umedalen for the first time in 1994 and it is now a permanent exhibition in a sculpture garden at the previous Umedalen hospital precinct.^[1]

The property company Balticgruppen (The Baltic Group), together with Art Gallery Galleri Sandström Andersson, in 1987 bought the uncommissioned psychiatric hospital Umedalen, around 20 stone houses in a park, by the Västerbotten County Council. Sweden's largest art gallery has been built around the historic buildings that were previously used as the hospital.^[2] Balticgruppen has purchased 44 sculptures, which now form the permanent exhibition in the sculpture park.^[1]
