Town Musicians of Bremen statue / sculpture in bronze, Riga, Latvia


This statue was a gift from Riga's twin city, Bremen, in 1990. It is based on the original which stands in Bremen, and depicts four animals (a donkey, dog, cat and rooster) from a Brothers Grimm fairy tail. Passers by touch the hooves of the Bremen original to make their wishes come true; instead, in Riga, people rub the animals' noses.
