The Mermaid

“The Mermaid” most famously refers to the iconic bronze statue of The Little Mermaid in Copenhagen, Denmark. Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale, it was created by Edvard Eriksen and unveiled in 1913 as a gift to the city from brewer Carl Jacobsen. The statue has since become a symbol of Copenhagen and a major tourist attraction, despite surviving several acts of vandalism over the years.
