Monument to the drunkard in Vilnius: photos, reviews

About

In Vilnius, there is a unique place known as the Užupis district: this is where artists and poets live, workshops and dance studios are found, and various informal establishments flourish. What can be said about creative people? They are vulnerable, and thus, they are susceptible to temptations, but acknowledging the problem is already half the solution.

The Drunkard's monument is located on one of the walls in the Užupis district, created with the goal of reminding all artists that no stimulants can beckon inspiration; it comes on its own and should find you at work.

This intriguing concept was developed by one of the Lithuanian sculptors, who dared to speak up about it, and this has been met with success among the public - tourists love to look at this monument, and fellow creatives are given a vivid reminder that one should not indulge excessively but create with an open heart.

Agree, I just couldn't help smiling. And it got me reflecting on what I might be afraid of - cheaper than counselling, and I got to stroke my therapist 😻
