The park was founded in 1997 through the private initiative of the collector couple Dr. Michael and Dr. Eleonore Stoffel, and has received great recognition in the art scene and among a broad public, both nationally and internationally. Through temporary exhibitions, a wide range of modern contemporary outdoor sculpture is presented, whose reputation has been strengthened by the exhibition series »KölnSkulptur« and accompanying catalogues.
Currently, the Skulpturenpark Köln is presenting itself between its temporary exhibitions. It is now a rare opportunity to explore the park with its permanently installed works – including a large number of loans from the Michael and Eleonore Stoffel Stiftung and from Künstler:innen and galleries, some of which have been on view since the opening of the Skulpturenpark Köln in 1997.
