Klaipėda Sculpture Park (also known as Martynas Mažvydas Sculpture Park) is located in central Klaipėda, Lithuania. This park is one of the key artistic landmarks in the town. The L-shaped park occupies 12.2 hectares and has 116 modern sculptures created by 67 Lithuanian artists in 1977–1991.[1] QR codes have been fixed to the sculpture plaques, giving extra info after waving a phone next to them.

In 1820–1959, here was the Memel Central Cemetery (German: Memel Städtischer Friedhof). Over 40,000 people are buried there.[2] Some graves are marked by tombstones to this day.

Since 2006, the History Museum of Lithuania Minor is responsible for maintenance of the park.
