Here’s a look at the top 10 strange statues around the world. Trust me some of them are really strange:
10. The Shark
The Shark became the most famous resident of Headington when it landed in the roof of 2 New High Street (see map) on 9 August 1986.
This ordinary home (built as a semi-detached house in about 1860 but now attached by a link to a second house to the north) suddenly became the centre of world attention, and the headless shark still excites interest today.
Location: 2 New High Street, Headington, Oxford
9. The Magic tap
Magic tap, which appears to float in the sky with an endless supply of water. In actuality, there is a pipe hidden in the stream of water.
Location: Aqualand, Cadiz
8. La Trobe
A contemporary representation of Charles La Trobe in central Melbourne (This temporary installation was removed at the end of June 2006 and has been acquired by La Trobe University).
Location: Melbourne
7. Potsdam
Location: Potsdam
6. Santa Fe, New Mexico
Location: Santa Fe, New Mexico
5. Man at work in Bratislava
This bronze statue is located in the pedestrian zone of Bratislava. Rub its nose, and you will have fortune. I am sure many people believe in that as have a look at the nose, it looks badly rubbed.
Location: Bratislava
4. The Fremont troll
The Fremont troll has been lurking under the north end of the Aurora bridge since 1990. He was sculpted by four Seattle area artists — Steve Badanes, Will Martin, Donna Walter and Ross Whitehead — for the Fremont Arts Council. The head-and-shoulders sculpture is 18-ft. tall.
Location: Aurora bridge, Seattle, Washington

Found in a square in Budapest.

2. Eating a Biscuit together
Located in Seoul, Korea, in front of the Bukcheon Museum. Sculptor is Ku BomJu. Photographs Jean Poulot

1. Los Angeles
I am sure we all feel like this on a Monday morning. This is what I call true to life art.
Location: In front of the Ernst & Young building
