    Tips

    The bronze sculpture depicts the sea goddess Oceania. It is a gift from the Odense Art Foundation and is probably one of the most controversial works in Odense. Children love it as a slide, tourists want to know whether it's a man or a woman, and locals find Oceania either beautiful or ugly.

    It's best to form your own opinion here.

    Svend Wiig Hansen (1922-1997) graduated from the Copenhagen Academy of Fine Arts in 1950 and was a central figure in Danish postwar art, persistently exploring people and their relationships in both painting and sculpture.

      In the middle of the market: depicts the goddess Oceania. Children can easily climb on it. Looks like this happens often.
