Sculpture upon sculpture in Sweden

After leaving the Malmö Castle, I basically walked around seeing what the town was like. I didn’t even know where I took some of the photos (actually I did the same in Copenhagen, and for some of these places/sculptures, I found their name on Google Maps later :P )

If you look closely, you will see that the white sculpture from the previous post is also in this one. This photo is taken from the opposite side.





a very special sculpture

it's called the "optimistic orchestra"

it was so special that I needed to take a photo from the other side too

and also a closer view of the orchestra members

in another square they had another sculpture, called "Gustav Adolfs torg"

a close-up

there was this interesting "waterfall" down to the river (or is it a canal?). And at the back, right at the "bank", there is a cat... (a sculpture of one)

another sculpture...going across the bridge



looking back to the "waterfall" and "cat"

the same "Way To Go" sculpture goes back on the other side of the bridge

and this photo is just because...this is the Disgusting Food Museum (which I did not enter)

Triangeln shopping center

it's triangle-shaped

St John's Church, behind Triangeln (there were a few exits from the shopping center, so I exited from the back)
I have a closer-up pic of the church, but I like the pattern on the ground of the square, so I chose to post this one.

There was a specific reason why I went to Triangeln, which is a little south of central Malmö. When I was researching the way to get to Malmö, someone recommended getting off at Triangeln station, which was right before the Malmö central station, because of the “impressive arrival hall”. I actually tried to do that, but I somehow missed the stop (not being familiar with their announcements, I didn’t know it was that stop!), and only saw that it was Triangeln station after the train had started moving off. (luckily that didn’t happen on my actual stop)

So I decided to take the train back from Triangeln instead. Here is the station:


I guess it is pretty special!

But I needed to see the "arrival hall"...

another...sculpture...


this is actually halfway down the escalator; there's another one going further down

not so impressive, actually :P

I guess basically this is what's special! (see the church through the roof?)

Since it was still early (around 3pm), I went outside and looked around a little more (the train tickets that I had bought were for the round trip, and they weren’t fixed for a certain schedule, just for the day). I found this nice square where people were skateboarding.

blue flowers...or blue leaves?

looking back towards Triangeln

I sat around for a bit since I had nothing else planned (I was so lucky that the weather was lovely that day!) I remember checking whether there was anywhere else worth going in Malmö, but I didn’t find anything much; I just walked around a bit after that and went back to Copenhagen.
