The Dhamma Park Gallery

For seekers of Truth. 

Visitors are invited to join us on a symbolic journey from Ignorance (of the true nature of reality), to Enlightenment, via the permanent collection of Venetia Walkey's contemporary, unorthodox, humourous & satirical sculptures, which represent the core teachings of the Buddha.

The sculptures are quarter scale models which can be enlarged for a full-scale park.
