Guided Tour in the Sculpture Garden and Tønder Water Tower
Hear about the artworks, the artists, the history of the garden and the area – and maybe even a tall tale or two. You will receive stories that add new layers to the experience of the very different works. The guided tour continues to the Tønder Art Museum, where lunch is served in the Museum Café, followed by a guided tour of the Water Tower with the Wegner exhibition.
About the Sculpture Garden:
Between the Vidå River and the old streets of Tønder lies the Amtmandens Have, one of the city's gems, where today there is a collection of large and small sculptures by renowned sculptors. Together, all the works make up the Sculpture Garden. Here, guests are welcome to touch the artworks, which are placed around the park, and it is also perfectly fine when children climb on or through some of them. The idea is that the entire garden with sculptures, old trees, and a large lawn is a place to be used, enjoyed, and to invite stays and events. The very diverse sculptures include both smaller works with organic forms and several meter high works with graphic expressions in materials such as granite, bronze, sandstone, and marble.
