Barry Yu’s (游忠平) 300kg mermaid, the tail of which is 4m high, is the largest of the eight sculptures on display. The mermaid is the tallest sculpture that he has ever made, and is so big that 10 people were needed to carry it into the museum, Yu said. Summer inspired him to create the mermaid, which is unusual in that it also has wings, he said. The festival includes mud painting activities, a sculpting workshop and contest, as well as street artist “statues,” the museum said. The museum in Yingge District (鶯歌) also offers a picnic area, a sandbox, interactive classes, and the Little Potter Playroom — where parents and children can relax, the museum said.
