According to the LA Times, Copenhagen’s ‘Little Mermaid’ will swim to Shanghai next year, so you will have to go to Shanghai instead of Copenhagen to see the statue. That's a very generous exchange.
“The Little Mermaid” statue, sculpted by Edvard Erichsen and inspired by a fairy tale written by Hans Christian Andersen, has been the symbol of Copenhagen since she was placed in the harbor in 1913. But don’t look for her there from April to November of next year because she’s going to Expo 2010 in Shanghai.
The beloved statue will grace the Mermaid Pool in the Danish Pavilion during the Shanghai world event while a sculpture by a Chinese artist stands in for her in Copenhagen.
