Who doesn\u2019t know the Bremen Town Musicians from the Brothers Grimm fairy tale? But what are they doing in Riga? <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Did the animals really stray that much from their path that they ended up here instead of Bremen? Just behind St. Peter\u2019s Church, much to the surprise of many tourists, is a sculpture that no one expects. This is where the Town Musicians of Bremen, created by an artist from Bremen Christa Baumg\u00e4rtel, can be found. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Riga is an old Hanseatic Town and partner city of Bremen. It was gifted the sculpture by Bremen in 1990. It was planned to put it in the recently designed \u201cPark of Peace\u201d, but this park never made the step from the design on paper to the real world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
