Map shows art symbolising each European country (photos)

Art unites Europe

Newsroom April 13 07:39

The European continent might be facing a number of challenges, including the ongoing economic and migrant/refugee crisis, as well as political and ideological divisions on the path it has taken, but a Reddit user compiled an amazing map with a collage of some of the iconic works of arts that symbolise each country on the continent, reminding us that Europeans are bound by a common history of beauty and culture. The tread attracted a number of positive comments, while many sites have mirrored the map celebrating European culture.

Denmark: Edvard Eriksen – The Little Mermaid

100 girls jump in the water behind Copenhagen's landmark "Little Mermaid" at Langelinie in Copenhagen, on August 23, 2013 as the statue celebrates her 100th birthday. Perched in the water just off the star-shaped Kastellet fortress near the city's harbour, the small bronze skinned sculpture of H.C. Andersen's melancholic fairytale has become a Danish icon on par with Carlsberg, the brewery whose owner once financed her.
