Parco Artistico Orme su La Court, also known as Art Park La Court, is a distinctive open-air museum located in Castelnuovo Calcea, within the renowned vineyards of the Michele Chiarlo winery. Inaugurated in 2003, the park offers visitors a unique experience, blending contemporary art with the natural beauty of the Monferrato landscape, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Highlights include Luzzati's whimsical sculptures, Nespolo's vibrant installations, and Bangle's Big Bench, offering panoramic views of the surrounding hills. The park also features a terracotta siren, an astrolabe with a large sun, and timber marker heads, each adding to the park's unique charm. In addition to the permanent collection, the park hosts cultural events and temporary exhibitions throughout the year. A downloadable app provides an interactive guide with information about the artworks and the winemaking process.
