Syrenka Warszawska (Mermaid of Warsaw) by Konstanty Hegel
Rynek Starego Miasta (Old Town Market Place)
Stare Miasto (Old Town)
Warsaw, September 2018
“The sculpture in Warsaw's Old Town Square was designed by Varsovian sculptor Konstanty Hegel. Originally (1855–1928) and now (since 2000) it stands in the marketplace. At other times, it was moved to different places in Warsaw. In 2008, the original sculpture made of bronzed zinc was taken from the market for maintenance work. The sculpture was in a very poor condition due to mechanical damage and numerous acts of vandalism. The repaired original was transferred to the Museum of Warsaw, and replaced with a copy of made by the Jacek Guzera foundry in Dąbrowie near Kielce.” (Mermaid of Warsaw, Wikipedia)
