The embodiment of Hans Christian Andersen’s tragic fairytale, the heartbroken Little Mermaid statue sits on her stone by the Copenhagen harbour yearning for the prince of her dreams. A tiny bronze statue, just 125cm (49 inches) tall and weighing 175 kg (386 lb.), the Little Mermaid has inspired visitors with her tale of enduring love for a century. But she has also stoked controversy. Twice beheaded by radical artists (1964 and 1998), the Little Mermaid has also had her arm severed (1984). And an attempt has even been made to blow her up with explosives (2003).
