Illa das Esculturas
About This Museum
You'd never guess that this entire riverside park is actually an open-air museum, home to a dozen monumental granite sculptures scattered across the landscape. It feels less like a curated exhibit and more like stumbling upon a hidden world where art has organically emerged from the earth. We spent a good hour just wandering the paths, discovering each piece nestled among the trees or standing boldly against the sky. The best part is how it's completely free and open all day, making it a perfect spot for a walk that's both peaceful and thought-provoking.
Collection Highlights
Look for 'A Man de Two' by Robert Müller, a massive granite hand emerging from the grass, and 'Homenaxe ao Cine' by Enrique Velasco, which feels like a giant film reel carved from stone.
Visitor Information
It's totally free to enter and open 24/7 since it's essentially a beautiful public park along the Lérez River—perfect for a spontaneous visit any time of day.
Architecture & Building
There's no traditional building; the 'museum' is the natural landscape of the island itself, with winding paths, native trees, and the river creating a stunning backdrop for the sculptures.
