First floating sculpture park

In July 2023, 20 sculptors from 16 countries gathered on the banks of the Hulan River in Harbin, bringing sculptural art representing the culture of their respective countries to northern China. The large metal sculpture, completed in more than half a month, were moved along the river. Since then, the world's first floating sculpture park was inaugurated.

The event was jointly organized by Hulan District and the International Sculpture Symposium Alliance. The sculptures are made of corrosion-resistant metal materials, with a volume of between 3-10 meters, and they are mounted on hollow bases, which are rectangular barges designed by professional marine engineers. These floating sculptures can be anchored or traveled on the water's surface by means of boat anchors and power. Sophisticated wind and ballast calculations are utilized to maintain the sculpture's attitude on the water's surface.
