There is probably no city or town in the world that doesn’t have a statue or sculpture – they commemorate important events, help us remember our greatest people, or simply put smiles on our faces.
However, some of them stand out from the rest and become true symbols of their locations. This list shows the most inspiring and creative statues in the world, which prove that they can be a great form of street art.

Got wisdom to pour?
This list contradicts its own title.
They aren’t the most original sculptures in the world, because they’re mostly a single theme and technique.
Yes, it’s awesome and fun, but it’s shared among them, ergo not original.
They’re mostly “take a sculpture and intersect stuff in the real world”.
The rest are really weak proto-surrealism. Fun, but not original. Especially because, again, they SHARE the theme with each other, therefore cannot all be original, by definition.
I love them! Inspirational.
the spider outside the TATE modern is one of Louise Bourgeois’s Maman sculptures.
but its no longer there… Its was for an exhibition
Stunning!
I saw two of them. Black Ghost is amazing, I must see it :-)
As an artist, I’m impressed, & they make people look & remember.
