A walk into Chillida World
CHILLIDA-LEKU is an outdoors museum that gathers the work of Eduardo Chillida (San Sebastián 1924-2002) in the properties of “Zabalaga farmhouse”, constructed in 1594 at the town of Hernani (Guipúzcoa-Spain). 10 kilometers far from San Sebastián, 40 sculptures of great format stand out on the ground of 12 hectares and a hundred small format works and drawings, created during 50 years of work, appear inside the restored farmhouse. In the same town in 1951, after his brief Parisian experience, Eduardo Chillida began his works in the forge of a blacksmith.

Inspiring Art Outdoors in Basque Country
This is the perfect way to experience the monumental art of Eduardo Chillida. This garden is reached easily by bus from San Sebastian and worth the effort to visit. You may encounter Chillida's sculptures in many cities of the world but to see many of them at together in this country garden setting is to glimpse the vision of this sculptor.
