The Little Mermaid
Denmark
Nestled on the waterfront of Langelinie in Copenhagen, this iconic bronze sculpture captures the wistful longing of Hans Christian Andersen's beloved fairytale character. Erected in 1913, the enigmatic mermaid has become a symbol of Denmark, with her gaze forever cast towards the harbour. An intriguing fact: she has endured numerous mischievous pranks and acts of vandalism over the years, yet remains undeterred and steadfast in her poise. Just over a metre in height, she might be small in stature, but her cultural impact is immense, drawing visitors from all corners of the globe.
