Confucius and Laozi statues bridge cultures in Montevideo

Standing tall at 7.8 meters in Batlle Park, these sculptures by Wu Weishan, the esteemed sculptor and director of the National Art Museum of China in Beijing, serve as a symbolic link between two distant nations, fostering dialogue and mutual understanding on shared human values.

The presence of these iconic figures not only enriches the cultural landscape of Montevideo but also serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of philosophical wisdom that continues to inspire harmony and connection across continents.
