Today was walking tour day, the guide on the right and the two other participants on the left. Yes! We were a group of three which was awesome.
They are touching noses of three of the four “Town Musicians of Bremen in Riga” based on a Grimm fairy tale.
Bremen is Riga’s sister city and they gifted this sculpture which is a replica of one in Bremen but these animals here are symbolically breaking through an iron curtain. Riga received the gift in 1990, just one year before the break-up of the Soviet Union and the liberation of the Baltic states.
