The Dante Garden or the Dante Sculpture Park is a sculpture garden located on the campus of the University of St. Michael's College in Toronto, Ontario. The garden consists of 100 bronze page-like relief sculptures created by Canadian sculptor Timothy Schmalz, making him the first artist to represent the full poem through sculpture. Each of the sculptures depict a single scene from each canto of Dante Alghieri's Divine Comedy, creating an "open-air book". In the center of the garden is a life-sized sculpture of Dante hunched over, appearing to write the first canto which he holds in his hand.
