The magnificent wetlands and wildlife wilderness of Lough Boora now host some of the most innovative land and environmental sculptures in Ireland. Artists draw inspiration from the rich natural and industrial legacy of the boglands and have been invited each year to created a series of large-scale sculptures that are now part of the Parklands permanent collection. Sculpture in the Parklands began as an international sculpture symposium in 2002 and is constantly evolving.
