Monument to the pig. Denmark.

Do you love bacon as much as you love it in Denmark? But the Danes, these are the real connoisseurs of this product! They are even a sign of his love, a monument to the pig. This monument is unique because it is considered to be the first in the world, which is dedicated to the pet! And it was established a long time ago, back in 1941. Initially, this sculpture was made of granite, and nine years later it was replaced by bronze. Bronze itself is a very stable material. When the monument was still granite, it is often damaged, several times even broken.

In Denmark, pig breeding is very developed, because bacon is a mandatory dish on the table of every Dane. It is because of such love for this dish and was a monument not to someone, and pigs. And yet the Danes are very lean, and pigs to them as symbols of the economy.

The author of the sculpture Mogens Boggild, a Professor at the Danish Academy. This song was his handiwork, he cast bronze mother pig, and next swarmed around her her calves, piglets. The most interesting thing is that it is not just a monument, but also a fountain with water. One of the pig-tail under running water, like a pig makes "pee-pee". Indecent, you might say... But it's so cute! All this was done on purpose, as conceived by the architect. But that's not all, mother-pig, when fed in the composition of the water stream, produces drool. The monument is very cute and even raises a smile from passers-by.

Funny, the bronze family is placed on a special pedestal. Each image of the pigs skillfully cast so that from afar it may seem as if now this family will come to life and begin to grunt.
See this cute family can be in Denmark, in a city called Aarhus.
