From the original design of the museum,in the style of arch. F.Ohmann,it was clear that a pair of lions were to be mounted on the plinths at the entrance, but for financial reasons this did not happen for 122years.
In the design,I took into account that the building is historic. I wanted it not to be clear at first glance at what time the Lions were created and to form a harmonious whole with the building. I decided to do something that was not done at the time the museum was built. I created a pair of lions as a pair-the Lion and the Liones. I placed the lion on the corner,in a more exposed place,so that the mane could be applied from a distant view. I attributed to the lion a more intimate side of the staircase, where the viewer can enjoy the line of her body. The bronze material creates a contrast to the limestone plinths.
I created the bodies of Lions stylized. I designed a relief for the surface, which dynamizes the anatomy and gives them an exciting decorative expression.

Dimensions of both statues (individually): Height 100 cm, width 50 cm, length 160 m
Material: patinated bronze on limestone plinths
