The Minister of Culture has criticized the disproportionate representation of men and mythical creatures compared to women in Copenhagen’s statues and busts. This observation comes as “Metropol” examines the city’s artistic landscape, highlighting a significant gender imbalance.

A survey of Copenhagen reveals a notable scarcity of statues depicting women, a disparity that the Minister of Culture deems “completely skewed.” This imbalance extends beyond public spaces, as evidenced by the Copenhagen city hall, where a collection of over 21 busts and statues adorns its corridors and halls.

The focus on the predominance of male figures and mythical creatures in Copenhagen’s sculptural art raises questions about historical representation and the need for a more inclusive depiction of women in the city’s public spaces.
