“This Nightmare Creature”: 50 Of The Most Bizarre And Ugly Statues Around The World

The Ferryman's End in Co. Wicklow. Maybe more creepy than ugly?

Ruined a perfectly beautiful mountain sacred to the Indigenous community for this garbage 😤

Official name: Santa Claus known as: the Bum plug gnome

I see this marvelous thing at least a couple of times a week. I live almost next to it. :D

Idk what this is actually called, but I have always called it The Colon

An artist made this Trump statue monstrosity in Moravce in order to bring in tourists. Someone burnt it to the ground shortly after it was erected.

There was also a similarly ugly statue of Melanija in her hometown of Sevnica, but it also got burnt and then somebody stole it.

Chichester has a poo (officially a periwinkle)

Mothman - Point Pleasant West Virginia

Theres a statue park in Parikkala, Finland that not a lot of people know about. Its very unsettling, theres hundreds of statues like this and the teeth look way too real to me.

This nightmare, official name Quasi, nicknames are far more lewd!

ETA: the face is the artist's, not a foreign politician or billionaire, but I can see some of the resemblances you guys are picking out! Apparently we recently passed this on to Tasmania, pour one out for the poor guys, who knows how long they're gonna be haunted!

From France, Woinic is not the ugliest. I present you the horrendous horse statue from the Gare de Rennes

Dandy Lion in Scotland

I mean we have some very weird statues but the weirdest one in my opinion was on that stopped a metro from crashing

Its a gorilla

The ""Christmas tree"" that was in the place Vendaume, Paris. 24 meter high, a lot of people were pissed off

This is bad

This thing was supposed to be a monument to the doctors who fought against Covid. But instead, it looks like something out of Resident Evil.

he’s definitely up there lol

Sweden’s very first attempt of lion taxidermy.

We have this nightmare creature in Alabama.

The Luke Kelly statue in Dublin. Well made but reminds me of the decapitated John de Baptist.

„Travelling Giants in the Wind“, Westerland (Sylt)

Safe to say the Island people are not happy with these

I thought this is bad enough but after almost died laughing at all kinds of monstrosity in the comment I feel like this is just mildly bad. But anyway—— sleep paralysis Nemo.

This one never failes to crack me up!

While personally I like it, I think a few people consider Liverpool's Superlambanana ugly. I love it's quirkyness tbh

snail pope

Jošt in Brno

How about this one in Colima Mexico, where I live.

It's called "Figura Obscena" (Obscene Figure). So no pretense, it knows what it is.

Sadly it does not look the same today😔🙏

Drove by this guy as a kid on a few occasions in the 70's. BTW, it's a potato.

The Blue Mustang at the Denver airport

”Tähtiin tähyävät” / ”Stargazers”. Turku, Finland

The great poop of Ponta Grossa

I know it wasnt supposed to represent a poop but i still have no clue of what it supposed to represent instead, still a masterpiece tho

World's largest sausage

The one on the right.

I love this thread!

Here is our.

How about "National Velvet" by artist John McEnroe, Denver, CO? Everyone knows and talks about Blucifer, our bronco from hell, but everyone forgets about this sculpture that looks like a pile of stockings filled with concrete and painted red. To me it always looks like a pile of human kidneys.

(Has since been taken down)

Nathan Bedford Forrest, Confederate General and Ku Klux Klan leader, Nashville, Tennessee

Poland. Yep, it's John Paul II

Not a statue, but this is the National Fisheries Development Board's office building in my hometown of Hyderabad.

It is an eyesore.

Maybe “ugly” isn’t the right word but it is certainly something. Sexy horse from Konin.

It's like an equivalent of the banana taped to the wall. The OG ragebait

Behold France's masterpiece! Woinic, the mighty swine of the Ardennes!

Oh, we have a poo

But at least they let the kids play on it, my old hometown replaced it's old fauntain in the park with a really nice one from an artist and now the children are not allowed to play in the water

And this abomination in almost every neighborhood in suburbs

it was so bad that the government had to come and say that it was designed and built by down-syndrome kids, which was denied by every single organization

« Hommage à Confucius » or “Tribute to Confucius” statue in my town

This statue was put on display in 2015 in Sejong City, meant to symbolize a traditional dancer, but people complained that it looked creepy and said it looks closer to the Korean grim reaper (jeosung saja) so it got removed.

However recently after Kpop Demon Hunters became popular, people started joking that they predicted the future, and some think they should put it on display again with some adjustments to lure in tourists.

Most hated art installation in Alberta!

In Sweden we had this one of our very own Zlatan but people kept snatching his schnoz.

We had this "skater" in my city that looks like Lukashenko. It was vandalised many times and it's no longer there

Probably this horse in Barcelona airport

The Naas roundabout ball

Field of Corn / Dublin Ohio

Probably the famous Milton Keynes Concrete Cows.
