Spread over more than 100 acres in Lamphun city, the Terracotta Garden is a sculpture park featuring hundreds of figures made of terracotta. This permanent exhibition boasts one of the most extensive collections of outdoor sculptures in Thailand.
Located some twenty kilometres from centre Chiang Mai, this garden is an outstanding example of art and one of the must-see attraction. Painstakingly sculpted from clay using traditional techniques, each piece there is unique.
The canopied garden is filled with clay sculptures of varying style and size, from Buddhist statues to figures of the Lanna kingdom along with sculptures of Ganesha, Shiva, Vishnu, Singha and Nagas
Some of us might recall a shop named Baan Phor Liang Meun in Chiang Mai, some ten years ago; The Terracotta Garden At Lamphun is own by the same family; it is actually the factory from where each pieces of art in this shop came from.
Mr. Sutthipong Maiwan, the founder, started creating this garden in 1975. While using it as a factory for the shop and export market he also produced some of his masterpieces there. Today, the garden is a serene place, a museum, a gallery, a workshop and a relaxing restaurant; it is also a lifetime project with plans for further creations for the next forty years.
