Creepy Park in Finland

The sculpture park of Veijo Rönkkönen in remote eastern Finland is perhaps the most important ensemble of contemporary folk art in the country. The first work of sculpture by this paper mill worker was completed in 1961; today his yard is filled with over 450 statues in cement, including over 200 self-portraits in yoga positions (representing all the positions the near-hermit has tried.)
