Fisherman in The Olympic Park, Lausanne

myminifactory

The Olympic museum's adjacent park is a vibrant sculpture garden featuring numerous statues celebrating sports. In 2013, we visited Lausanne during the museum's reconstruction phase. Several statues were relocated for restoration and maintenance purposes, while others were temporarily placed in different areas. This particular statue was one of those temporary installations, depicting a fisherman hauling cockles or mussels from the waterside.
