Chapungu Sculpture Park
Summary
The Chapungu Sculpture Park is a sculpture park in Msasa, Harare, Zimbabwe, which displays the work of Zimbabwean stone sculptors. It was founded in 1970 by Roy Guthrie, who was instrumental in promoting the work of its sculptors worldwide. One way this was done was by exhibiting the sculptures in Botanical Gardens in a touring exhibition called "Chapungu: Custom and Legend — A Culture in Stone". The places visited include:
(1999) Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, Cape Town, South Africa
(2000) Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew, London, United Kingdom,
(2001) Missouri Botanical Garden, St Louis, USA
(2001) Boyce Thompson Arboretum State Park, Superior, USA
(2002) Red Butte Garden and Arboretum, Salt Lake City, USA
(2003) Garfield Park Conservatory, Chicago, USA
(2003) Chicago Botanic Garden, Chicago USA

The park is home to the Chapungu Sculpture Centre, which hosts an important residency program that allows young sculptors to work on their craft for two years under its aegis; many of the sculptors whose work is shown in the park began their careers at the Centre.
Another Chapungu Sculpture Park was created in 2007 in the United States, along with a gallery, in Loveland, Colorado.
