Hamiduzzaman Sculpture Park is a sculpture park located in Gazipur, Bangladesh.[1] Stretching over 2 acres of land, the park is within a power plant of Summit Group. The park displays sculptures, artworks and mural created by Bangladeshi sculptor Hamiduzzaman Khan. The park is the first open-air sculpture park in Bangladesh and it contains the longest mural of the country with a length of 340-feet. Sculptures and artworks at the park have been created on the overarching theme of fusion between art and industry. The artistic style of the sculptures at the park characterizes modernistic and contemporary genres.[2][3]
The construction of the sculpture park began immediately after the completion of the Summit Gazipur 464 MW Power Plant. With the support and patronization of Chairman of Summit Group Muhammed Aziz Khan, sculptor Hamiduzzaman Khan began working on the sculptures for the park. As a tribute to the life and five-decades-long career of Hamiduzzaman Khan, the park has been named after him. The park is located in natural environment within the power plant premises, stretching over 2 acres of land. It was officially inaugurated in February, 2019.[4][5]
