"Go big or go home" was probably a motto many Renaissance artists shared among themselves, and many sought to outdo themselves with paintings and sculptures that were in-your-face and larger-than-life.

Think Michaelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceilings, the naked David, and the heart-wrenching Pieta.

Other artists, like Giovanni da Bologna, who flamboyantly insisted he be called a single name, Giambologna, was a Flemish sculptor who worked in marble and bronze, and created a fearsome melting giant man out of stone he named the Appeninno, or the Appennine Colossus, which Giambologna carved to represent the rugged Appenine mountains of Italy....

When we talk about sculptures, the most popular ones would be those inspired from famous people or characters like Abraham Lincoln, Venus the Milo, the Pieta or The Thinker. It's difficult to imagine sculptures that are underwater or those that resemble a giant hand. But they actually do exist and are very popular spots around the world.

Let us take a tour around the world to find the world's weirdest sculpture parks and be amazed at these unconventional works of art.

Some people build sandcastles on the beach, others build five-star sand hotels...

There is something quite so fascinating about sand on a beach. All those tiny grains damp from the surf just begging to be gathered together and piled into a structure of some sort.

In fact, you probably remember giving in to that urge as a child, and building a number of sand hills and sand towers, going so far as to pile buckets of the grainy stuff one upon the other to build the biggest sandcastle you can....
