KLEIN-SCHREUDER SCULPTURE GARDEN

This private foundation opened its doors to the public in 2004. At its facilities, Johannes Klein and Johanna Schreuder designed a beautiful garden shared by palm trees, rose bushes and cypress trees with an interesting sculpture collection. In 1996, the couple bought a 20.000 square metre abandoned orange tree plantation and built a house. Johannes designed a garden and Johanna chose the plants, trees and bushes that define this place. They planted 400 rose bushes, 100 palm trees, 60 rubber trees, 400 cypress trees and 100 privet bushes among many other plants. In 2002, they installed their first sculpture in a fresh and beautiful garden. In 2003, they created the non profit “Klein-Schreuder Foundation in the Valencian Community” through which they offer artists the possibility of doing exhibitions, open air music concerts or ballets. At the garden you can also find sculptures by Johanna Klein-Schreuder in a permanent exhibition with 38 bronze and iron sculptures made by various artists. The artwork selection criteria is that art doesn´t need any explanation: the figure of people and animals talk for themselves
