Stockholm. Gamla Stan. Bollhustäppan square. Iron boy (Järnpojke)

Just a block to Northwest of Brända tomten there is another small area - Bollhustäppan. The area is very young by the standards of Gamla Stan, she appeared only in 1960, when the place was inhabited. Here is the famous Railroad boy (Järnpojke, map), the work of famous sculptor Liss Eriksson. The artist called this figure "the Boy looking at the moon" (Pojke som tittar pe lomm).

Stockholm, Iron boy Järnpojke.

the sculptor Himself says that he has embodied in the figure of your childhood memories: "I remember how it was when I can't sleep and the moon shines. Then sit on the bed, in the bathroom, perhaps a little cold, so I had to cringe".
