Sculpture at Schoenthal

It is named after the Schönthal Monastery, a former church near the village of Langenbruck, Basel-Landschaft, which is now used for temporary art exhibitions.

An array of sculptures, including some by well-known artists, is dotted around the monastery area and the surrounding countryside.

Sculpture at Schoenthal was opened in 2000 as a "cultural meeting place" incorporating the monastery and surrounding area, with the motto "Art and nature in dialogue".

The following year its founder, John Schmid, transferred the entire set-up to the newly established Sculpture at Schoenthal Foundation.

A number of well-known Swiss and international artists have integrated works of sculpture into the surrounding Jura countryside, including Tony Cragg, Nigel Hall, Richard Long and David Nash.
