In the magnificent Villa Garden in the middle of the village of Engi, there has been a freely accessible sculpture garden for several years. Every year, from mid-May to mid-October, works by contemporary sculptors from the region and Switzerland are on display. Opening and event dates as well as information about the exhibitions are currently available in an information box at the entrance of the sculpture garden.

Origin of the Sculpture Garden:
For more than 20 years, the village cooperative Engi has existed 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 particularly strongly in the area of housing. Houses are losing value, it is hardly worthwhile to provide rental housing, houses are falling into disrepair. With the purchase of the "Alte Bank" in the rear village and the "Villa" in the front village, the village cooperative Engi not only provides nine apartments, but has also helped the Villa to regain its stately reputation through its efforts. This renovation task could only be realized because the village cooperative was able to count on broad support. As its latest deed, the village cooperative has initiated a sculpture garden in the villa garden.
