Why is there a Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen:
It was in 1909 that the founder of Carlsberg beer, Carl Jacobsen attended Hans Beck’s and Fini Henrique’s ballet ‘The Little Mermaid’ which was based on the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen. He was so impressed that he asked Edvard Eriksen, a Danish sculptor to create a sculpture of the Little Mermaid.
Little Mermaid facts:
The Little Mermaid in Copenhagen is a copy; the sculptor’s heirs keep the original at an undisclosed location. So what you see in Copenhagen is already a copy. But it’s a legitimate copy, of course.

In 1961, bra & knickers were painted on her, and her hair was ‘dyed’ red.

The Little Mermaid character is taken from the fairy tale by Danish author and poet Hans Christian Andersen.

The Little Mermaid is only 1.25 meters high

Little Mermaid Copenhagen visited China:
The Little Mermaid in Copenhagen has been boxed up and sent to China to charm visitors at the Shanghai 2010 World Expo.

Some 70 million people were expected to attend the World Exhibition in China in 2010. At least 3 million of them were expected to visit the Denmark pavilion.
