    The Little Mermaid brings together the two most famous Danish exports: Hans Christian Andersen and the Carlsberg brewery. The sculpture is based on the fairy tale of the same name by the beloved Danish poet Hans Christian Andersen. However, the erection of the sculpture was prompted by art lover Carl Jacobsen. He hired Danish sculptor Edvard Eriksen to design The Little Mermaid. Cast in bronze, the sculpture, with the head modeled after prima ballerina Ellen Price, was completed in August 1913. Incidentally, the imposing Gefion Fountain, not far from the bronze sculpture, was also commissioned by Carl Jacobsen

    What do you do when you come to Copenhagen? You visit the mermaid. You'll be disappointed just as quickly. The figure is relatively small and very well attended. Ultimately, Photoshop needs to help you remove other tourists.

    If you come later in the evening it is quite quiet here and you actually have the statue to yourself. Overall, a little more inconspicuous than expected, but the beautiful play of light on the bronze makes up for it.
