It's from the Vigeland sculpture park in Oslo.
If you think that's weird, look up the monolith in that same park.
Just a man and some babies having some horseplay.
The babbies are having a grand old time
Don't worry about the kicked baby, it landet safely on its head
I should grab a picture of the tentacle art installations in Northgate. They're big statues of tentacles, just out there doing their thing.
Yeah, I dunno, I guess that's what we're into?

You know, I could let my Spanish neighbors take the blame and fame and be quiet, but this aberration was done by a Portuguese.Spanish Sculptures
Edit: But don't get me wrong, it's a fine legacy to Ronaldo. Perfection.
Blucifer is pants-shittingly terrifying even before you learn that it killed its own sculptor.
That's one giant plugLet me add another contender: Dutch sculptures

That looks like it's from an alternative take on the story, where ripped Jesus just fucking breaks the cross in two and fights his way through Roman Judea until taking on Pontius Pilate as the final boss.South Korea has entered the chat

This seems hardly fair, like, on all imaginable levels for obvious reasons.
I'm going to take this occasion to sing praise to a very specific and lesser-known type of italian sculpture: anatomic wax models.
I'm very lucky to have lived near to one of, if not the largest collection of wax anatomical models in the world, resided in the Museum of Zoology and Natural History "La Specola", and let me just say, they're as absolutely mindblowing from a craftsmanship standpoint as they are hard to look at straight for more than a couple of seconds, especially if you're in the same room as hundreds them.
It's basically Body Works, but without the sketchy morality and more whole bodies being blown wide open.

If you ever come to Florence (or Vienna, there's a similar collection that share the florentian artists there) and can resist anatomic gore, I really recommend it, it's a very surreal experience like no other in the world.
As for the silly sculpture quota... Uh, enjoy this unit of a court dwarf from the 16th century.

It's a monument to the unappreciated nursery worker having his "Falling Down" moment.

It's actually what it looks like. A giant ass.
We do have some Boteros, too. Oviedo is not all about giant asses.
The National Gallery of Victoria have these amazing old sculptures in some black material. They're my favs:
