The sculpture "The Flying Trunk" is located in Odense at Jernbanegade 8
and was unveiled in 1991. It was created by the sculptor Jens Flemming Sørensen
and is a homage to the fairy tale of the same name by Hans Christian Andersen.

The sculpture depicts a trunk resting on three pyramid-like towers, symbolizing the mosques in "Turkish Land," as described in the fairy tale. It is made of bronze and granite and is intended to represent the trunk ascending into the sky.

Jens Flemming Sørensen (1933-2007) was an internationally acclaimed artist
who created many of his sculptures in bronze, granite, and marble, often using
spherical forms.
