Little Mermaid in Tivoli

Even though the Little Mermaid will be leaving Denmark in April to take part in world Expo 2010 in Shanghai, China, Danes and tourists can still see a Little Mermaid in Denmark. She will be in Tivoli in Copenhagen from 15 April 2010, when an original sister to the world famous sculpture will be sitting in the Tivoli Lake outside the Divan 2 restaurant up until and including the autumn holidays in week 42 of 2010.

It is the descendants of Edvard Eriksen, the sculptor of the world famous attraction, who have made a personal family copy of the Little Mermaid available for visitors to Tivoli. In this way, everyone interested in seeing the Little Mermaid in Copenhagen can still do so, even though the Mermaid from Langelinie is away on an adventure in China.

Alice Eriksen, granddaughter of the sculptor, says:
“In the family we decided that Danes and tourists in Copenhagen should still have the opportunity to see the Little Mermaid while the Mermaid from Langelinie is in China. We chose Tivoli because of the fairy-tale magic the Gardens have, and I'm sure that my grandmother, who was the original model that my grandfather used when he created the Little Mermaid, would have chosen this location while the Mermaid from Langelinie is in Shanghai."
