10 Creepy Public Art Displays

1. Jeju Loveland - South Korea

Jeju Loveland is an outdoor sculpture park located on Jeju Island off the coast of South Korea. One of three erotic sculpture parks, Jeju takes it a step farther, offering sex education classes and hands-on exhibits. Ahem. Originally a honeymoon spot for Korean couples, Seoul€™s Hongik University started sculpting figures for the island in 2002. There are now 140 sculptures covering the space of two soccer fields. Rotating exhibits are on display in two additional buildings. Yes, that is a breast butte in the photo above, which is likely the tamest photo that can be shown without you having to have a really awkward conversation with your kid. Aside from nipple hill, there are other sexually embarrassing sculptures like the god Pan making pipes with a human female, disembodied phalluses and a naked and zaftig woman crushing a small man. Don€™t worry if you bring your kids along, there€™s a separate play area for them so you€™ll only have to explain your red face when you finish the tour. Floating body parts, infanticide and channelling Satan himself make these public art displays creepy and weird. What is art is different for everyone though, so maybe you see these differently?
