Our next stop was something I had read about, a new place here on Kinnekulle which only opened earlier this spring - Sculpture Park Ouroboros.

It represents the idea of rebirth, which is rather suited for this sculpture park as it will have new sculptures every summer.
This year there was eight different artists exhibiting here in Ouroboros, with artwork representing many different materials and techniques spread out all over the garden.

A great little cultural excursion day!
