Comments:
The sculpture made by Sture Collin in 1990, is found in several places in Sweden, this is one of them.
The piece is the sculpture’s interpretation of the Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch’s painting "The Boat of Fools". In the statue, humanity is shown as a boat that is going to doom, and its crew panics.
