Towering 7-meter Mr. Walker Statue by Jan Håfström in Stockholm's Järnvägsparken

Experience the changing appearance of the 2000 kg aluminum statue of Mr Walker, a masterpiece of Swedish artist Jan Håfström.

Jan Håfström's striking sculpture, Vem är Mr Walker?, towers over Stockholm's Järnvägsparken. A 7-meter-tall statue made of aluminum, it weighs nearly 2000 kg. Two painted silhouette panels give a three-dimensional experience, inspired by the character Mr Walker from a famous comic book. The statue, unveiled on September 5, 2014, offers a unique perspective, as Mr Walker's appearance changes depending on the viewpoint. A similar statue, also created by Jan Håfström, was built in Kumla in October 2016 and placed in Kumla sjöpark.
