Sculptures are one of the most ancient types of art in the history of humankind. Because of that, we have several of those that resist until today and others that became notorious for innovating in the technique and form. Check out these sculptures that we consider among the most creative around the world:

Sinking library, Australia

This one can be found close to where we are on a country that’s part of the Orient Expedition itinerary. In front of the Melbourne State Library, you can find this very unusual sculpture that depicts a library being “swallowed” by the ground, or sinking. The piece was commissioned by the City Hall of Melbourne as part of a program that focused on stimulating the appreciation of art.

Monument to Mihai Eminescu, Romania

There are several ways to make a sculpture and that becomes very clear when we see what’s done in the Monument to Mihai Eminescu, in Onesti, Romania. Eminescu was a Romanian poet and this piece can only be seen under a certain angle, which is made up by the various parts spread through the branches of the trees.

Shoes on the Danube Bank, Hungary

This one is a memorial to the Jewish people who were killed by fascist Arrow Cross militiamen during World War II. They were forced to remove their shoes before being shot and tossed in the Danube and carried by the waters.

Carlos Drummond de Andrade, Brazil

There’s no way to talk about creative sculptures around the world and not mention Drummond’s statue in Copacabana Beach, in Rio. It’s a just homage to the Brazilian poet that always gives visitors the opportunity to take creative photos sitting besides the poet. On the bend, sculptor Léo Santana engraved a piece of a Drummond poem.
