Europos Parkas
Europos parkas
An open-air contemporary sculpture park about 19 km north of Vilnius, set among forests and lakes near the geographic 'centre of Europe.'
Europos Parkas was founded in 1991 by sculptor Gintaras Karosas. Covering about 55 hectares, it displays more than 100 large contemporary sculptures and land-art works by artists from over 30 countries. The best known is the LNK Information Centre, a maze built from more than 3,000 old television sets. The park has rolling terrain, lakes, and forest, and walking the trails takes about 2–3 hours. A few kilometers north is the monument to the geographic centre of Europe, marked in 1989 by the French National Geographic Institute, and it can be visited on the same trip. Tickets cost about 10 euros. A car or taxi is recommended for getting there.
