    Mennesket ved Havet

    On the waterfront opposite the Fiskeri- og Søfartsmuseet (4km northwest of the city centre) is Esbjerg's most interesting landmark, Mennesket ved Havet, comprising four stark-white, 9m-high, stylised human figures, sitting rigid and staring out to sea. They were created by Danish sculptor Svend Wiig Hansen to commemorate the city's centennial in 1995 and they make a striking backdrop to holiday snaps.
