Little Mermaid
Copenhagen, Denmark
September 18, 2024
The Little Mermaid has got some serious historical significance.
This legendary statue has been gracing the Copenhagen harbor since 1913
and has witnessed major moments in Danish history.
It survived World War II! It’s a symbol of resilience and a reminder of Denmark’s past.
Plus, it’s been the target of some crazy pranks and political statements over the years.
People have dressed it up, beheaded it, and even blew it up!
But don’t worry, they always fixed her up.
The fact that this sculpture has endured all of that and still stands tall is pretty impressive.
