The Sculpture Park

At the historic Madhavendra Palace in Jaipur, nonprofit Saat Saath Arts has collaborated with the government of Rajasthan to create a spectacular park of contemporary artworks. The 20,000-square-foot Sculpture Park is India’s first sculpture park. Stroll through the extensive grounds of the 18th-century Nahargarh Fort in Jaipur, India, and you may spot more contemporary objects. At the heart of the fortress is the 1892 Madhavendra Palace, a former seasonal retreat for King Maharaja Sawai Madho Singh and his nine wives, where nearly every structural surface seems to be covered in intricately painted decorative murals. Throughout the palatial space, 61 contemporary artworks are displayed.
