Monument to the Five Senses

Monument to the Five Senses, Metal sculpture in Landsberg am Lech, Germany.

The Monument to the Five Senses is a 1991 metal sculpture by Lubo Kristek, installed since 1992 in front of the Neues Stadtmuseum in Landsberg am Lech. Made of welded sheets of metal worked in repoussé and chasing, it joins the five senses into a face-like shape that twists upward like a growing plant, with an open hand.

Lubo Kristek made the sculpture in 1991 for Beatrix and Erich Matthees of the Lechstadt Hausbau company, who donated it to the Neues Stadtmuseum. It was unveiled in the museum garden in November 1992, opening Kristek's retrospective held there from 12 December 1992 to 24 January 1993 for his fiftieth birthday. In 2015 it was listed among 40 treasures of the museum's municipal collection.

The sculpture's title refers to the five human senses, which Kristek joined into a single face-like form that also resembles a growing plant, with an open hand. It was donated to the Neues Stadtmuseum by Beatrix and Erich Matthees of the Lechstadt Hausbau company and unveiled in the museum garden in November 1992.

The sculpture stands in the garden of the Neues Stadtmuseum, where it was unveiled in November 1992. Visitors reach it on foot through the museum grounds; the welded metal sheets can be viewed from all sides, so walk around the piece to see how the face-like form changes with the angle.

In 2015 the sculpture was chosen as one of 40 treasures from the municipal collection of the Neues Stadtmuseum, published in a catalogue of the museum's holdings. It was donated by Beatrix and Erich Matthees of the Lechstadt Hausbau company, who commissioned it.
