Copenhagen’s Stock Exchange Spire and The Balancing Act
The Danish sculptor, Jens Galschiøt, has created a number of balancing works of art that can be found in Copenhagen, Gothenburg, and Oslo.
In the background of today’s photo you can see the spire on Copenhagen’s Old Stock Exchange building (Børsen) featuring four dragons with their tails twisting towards the top and ending in a spear with three crowns representing The Kalmar Union between Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Despite numerous fires that have wiped out much of Copenhagen over the years, this is still the original from 1640.
