    The Mermaid sculpture in Odense is a fascinating and mythical figure
    created by Hans Pauli Olsen. It stands on a 3-4 meter high base
    so that it can be viewed as if from the depths of the ocean.
    The sculpture is made of bronze and was unveiled on June 20, 1998.
    The mermaid shows a strong energy, which is emphasized by her posture.
    This depiction is contrary to the traditional understanding of the mermaid's innocence and beauty.
