What is Saint Oda Park about?
Saint Oda Park also known as Odapark, is a contemporary visual art centre located at Merseloseweg 117 in Venray, Netherlands. Unlike traditional indoor museums, Odapark is set within a 19-hectare forest and landscape park and focuses on the relationship between art, nature, and human creativity.
The park combines outdoor and indoor exhibition spaces. At its centre are a historic nineteenth-century Tea House and an adjacent exhibition pavilion of approximately 400 square metres, where rotating contemporary exhibitions are presented each year. In addition, the sculpture park holds a permanent collection of more than 60 works by international artists, positioned throughout the wooded landscape and historic parkland.
Odapark’s mission is to offer alternative perspectives and stimulate imagination by addressing social and cultural themes through contemporary art, while maintaining a balance between accessibility and artistic depth.
