Haesindang Park (Korean: 해신당 공원), also called Penis Park, is a theme park in Samcheok, Gangwon Province, South Korea. The park is noted for its number of phallic statues. The collection created by Korean artists displays various forms of "hanging arrangements to three-meter tall trunks of wood", for joy, spirituality and sexuality. A small Folk Museum titled "Village Folk Museum" has exhibits of art objects on the "sex iconography" over ages in different cultures, shamanic rituals and also the history of the Korean fishing community.[1][2][3]
