Monument to the Five Senses

The Monument to the Five Senses rises 450 centimeters high and incorporates a face-like structure merged with plant forms made from welded metal sheets.

Created by artist Lubo Kristek in 1991, the sculpture was commissioned by the Lechstadt Hausbau company and installed at the museum in November 1992.

The sculpture represents human sensory perception through metal forms, reflecting Kristek's interest in how people interact with their surroundings through the five senses.

Visitors can examine the detailed metalwork techniques of repoussé and chasing used in the sculpture during regular museum opening hours at the Neues Stadtmuseum.

The sculpture demonstrates Kristek's theory of holographic perception, where multiple sensory inputs combine to create complex mental images in observers' minds.
