For several years now, there has been a freely accessible sculpture garden in the magnificent villa garden in the middle of the village of Engi. Every year from mid-May to mid-October, works by contemporary sculptors from the region and Switzerland are exhibited. Vernissage and event dates as well as information on the exhibitions are available in an information letterbox at the entrance to the sculpture garden.

Origin of the sculpture garden:
The Engi village cooperative has existed for over 20 years as a "housing cooperative". The objectives have changed over the years, but the need remains. The Glarner Hinterland-Sernftal is feeling the effects of being a peripheral region when it comes to housing. Houses are losing value, it is hardly worthwhile making rental apartments available, houses are falling into disrepair. With the purchase of the "Alte Bank" in the rear village and the "Villa" in the front village, the Engi village cooperative has not only made nine apartments available, but has also helped the villa to regain its stately appearance through its efforts. This renovation project could only be realized because the village cooperative was able to count on broad support. The latest initiative of the village cooperative was the creation of a sculpture garden in the villa garden.
