Stone sculptures
In all, the Town Square has 25 large, granite furnishings. In 10 of these, there are sculptures. We had the sculptures created in connection with the Sculptors’ Festival in June of 2019. They are the result of a cooperative effort between Trondheim Municipal Authority and Nidaros Cathedral’s Restoration Works. We had the sculptures designed based on the topic ‘Games’ (‘Lek’ in Norwegian). A jury selected the sculptures, while the public voted in one of them as their favourite.
The intention behind the sculptures was to create an exciting aesthetic element that combines artistic crafts and play. Both young and old can go on a hunt for sculptures until they find them all!
