'Broken Chair'
#traveldiaries
The huge 'Broken Chair' sculpture, an artwork made of wood, stands on only three legs is a symbol the campaign against landmines. It is one of the 21st century's most emblematic works of art.
Broken Chair is the work of sculptor Daniel Berset. It was made in 1997 for the NGO Handicap International. Made out of 5.5 tonnes of wood and standing at a height of 12 metres, this impressive work of art has been dominating the Place des Nations since 1997. It's message is simple: remember the victims of landmines, urge your government to promote a ban on landmines. Think of making a stopover here before heading further to visit the international district.
