Indoors

Some of the elephants has been moved indoors, probably as a boon to the sponsors. this one you can find in the department store Illums.

Helping the Tourists

When new to a city, a good place to start is always the local Tourist Information-centre. When visiting Copenhagen its located near Tivoli and the Central Station (Hovedbanegården), so it's easy enough to find. The elephant here overlooks the competent helping of the visitors as they book hotels, find attractions or are just updated on what's happening this week.

Live to ride

The Live to ride-elephant is placed on Christianshavn with a view to Vor Frelser Kirke (The Church of Our Savior), known for its spiral staircase on the outside of the spire.

Un-appreciated

It seems like some in Copenhagen don't really appreciate the Elephant Parade. The one painting this elephant called Glowing in the Dark, obviously thought that his black spray can could be used to improve it. Quite a lot of the elephants has been damaged by graffiti, people trying to ride them or by other means, so a kind of "elephant hospital" has been set up to repair the damage. That this is necessary tells a sad story about some of the people living here.

What makes a city liveable?

Today's elephant is placed outside the Danish Architecture Centre. The exhibition at the centre at the moment is "What makes a liveable city?" as stated by the poster in the background. The centre is well worth a visit if architecture is your thing.

Family Group?

On and around the square of Kongens Nytorv in Copenhagen the Elephant Parade has placed eight of the elephants, maybe as out of convenience or maybe because they know that elephants are social animals.

Elephant Blocking
