The Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park is a sprawling 50-hectare area that houses both a botanical garden and a sculpture park. It is located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA. This location is often referred to as the Meijer Gardens and is considered one of the most significant cultural events in the American Midwest.
History and Founders
The Meijer Gardens was opened to the public in 1995, thanks to the generous donation from Frederik and Lena Meijer. They provided not only financial support but also the land and their complete collection of sculptures to the organization. This contribution has played a significant role in shaping the park's unique character and offerings.
Sculpture Park
Since 2002, the Meijer Gardens has included a vast sculpture park that features over 170 works from renowned sculptors. This extensive collection provides visitors with the opportunity to appreciate a wide range of artistic styles and techniques in a natural setting.
