In 1913, Danish sculptor Edward Eriksen (Edvard Eriksen) cast a bronze mermaid statue based on Andersen's fairy tale "Daughter of the Sea". The bronze statue is located in the Langelinie Park in Copenhagen and has become a symbol of Denmark. In Copenhagen’s City Hall square, there is a bronze statue of Andersen. Every visitor passing by is to shake hands with the “father of fairy tales,” holding Andersen’s books and his photographs. In Andersen's hometown of Odensee, there is a museum of Andersen's former residence, and countless people who are fascinated by Andersen's fairy tales go there to see and visit.
