Sculpture “Kaminkrėtys” (“Chimney-sweep”)

In Kepėjų street, on the roof of „Žvejų baras“ a bronze „Chimney-sweep“ sits. Chimney-sweeps – people of obsolescent speciality and therefore it interested sculptor Klaudijus Pūdymas. „Chimney-sweep“ is put down on the edge of a high house. „I needed a high-rise building for the purpose that a sculpture would be visible from far away. Besides, the old symbol of Klaipėda – „Meridianas“ as well as river are near, whereas beneath there is a square where craft fairs take place. The most importantly that the plane of house was very suitable for sculpture, and the building itself – with a chimney“ (From G. Balčiūtė‘s article „On the roof of the bar a „Chimney-sweep“ settled“. Klaipėda, 2007 December 8). Height of sculpture – 2,3 meter.

A huge button is attached on the wall. If passerby had rubbed it, his most secret desires would be fulfilled. This is a decorative focus „Button of Chimney-sweep“. At the „Button of Chimney-sweep“ people began to attach small buttons.
