The little mermaid is made of Edvard Eriksen, he was a sculptor in Denmark in 1913.She is situated in Langelinie. As a model he used his wife Eline Eriksen.
In 1964 the little mermaid lost her head, someone had cut it off, and no one knew who it was. There have been many other vandalism to her. In this year she is moved to Shanghai in China. because there is a exhibition called EXPO 2010.
I like the story about this sculpture :-)
