MEN AT SEA (MENNESKET VED HAVET)

At the beach, slightly north of Esbjerg, is one of the most important Danish pieces of art, called ”Men at sea”, by Svend Wiig Hansen. This impressive, 9 metres tall sculpture greets all sea travellers arriving in Esbjerg. Men at Sea was installed in 1994 when Esbjerg celebrated its 100-years anniversary as an independent municipality. Made of white concrete, the sculpture depicts the pure and untainted human’s encounter with nature.
