Anlamlı ve güzel bir heykel. Tiren istasyonuna yakın Smaller than what I thought it would be but still worth seeing nonetheless. Situated near the central train station. Easy to find. In a pretty part of town with lots of artwork, but WAY small than I thought. I thought it was a huge statue and it’s really not all the big and spectacular, cool to see if you’re in the area, but I would travel too far just to see it This is as beautiful as its surroundings! The water the surrounding architecture and the Knotted Gun! It is located near the Centralstation and is clearly visible from afar. I saw this a couple times on photos because there are a couple of it by the same artist spread around the world. However, I expected it to be much bigger. Also the headline "Non violence" is a bit too broad and therefore insignificant for my taste. Summarized this "monument for peace" is underwhelming. Enjoyed seeing this in person and took a picture with it. Love the messaging behind it too! It is small compared to what it looks like online, but still a great sculpture. This was probably one of my favorite things I saw while in Malmo! The Knotted Gun may be smaller than expected, but it certainly makes a strong impression. Its intricate detailing and creative design immediately capture attention. Originally unveiled outside the United Nations headquarters in New York in 1988, this has since become a global emblem of peace, displayed in more than 30 locations around the world. The artwork, a Colt Python Magnum revolver with its barrel tied into a knot, perfectly symbolizes the idea of nonviolence and the hope for a more peaceful world. Though modest in size, its message resonates deeply—a reminder that even the simplest forms of art can carry the most powerful statements. An interesting sculpture, but it was much smaller than I expected. The detail on it was very intricate. The Knotted Gun symbol is an oversized Colt Python Magnum revolver. It was created by a Swedish artist Carl-Fredrik Reutersward as a memorial tribute to John Lennon after his death in New York in 1980. The Knotted Gun was unveiled as a outside the United Nations headquarters in New York in 1988 as a symbol for peace. The unique symbol is displayed at more than 30 strategic public locations around the world, including the Olympic Museum in Lausanne and the Peace Park in Beijing, as well as this one in Malmö Truly nice to present the concep in this art form, though it's really small in size than I originally anticipated. Really cool sculpture. The artist captured real significance of the symbolism behind this piece. Interesting but I thought it would be somehow bigger. Το "The Knotted Gun" (Non-Violence) είναι ένα πανίσχυρο σύμβολο ειρήνης και μη βίας. Το γλυπτό του Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd, με το περίστροφο που έχει δεμένη την κάννη του, στέλνει ένα ξεκάθαρο μήνυμα ενάντια στη βία και τον πόλεμο. Βρίσκεται σε διάφορες πόλεις παγκοσμίως, αλλά η πιο εμβληματική τοποθεσία του είναι έξω από την έδρα του ΟΗΕ στη Νέα Υόρκη. Είναι ένα από εκείνα τα έργα τέχνης που δεν χρειάζονται λόγια—η εικόνα του και μόνο προκαλεί σκέψη και συναισθήματα. Αν βρεθείτε κοντά σε κάποιο από τα αντίγραφα του γλυπτού, αξίζει να σταθείτε για λίγο και να αναλογιστείτε το μήνυμα που εκπέμπει. Ένα από τα πιο δυνατά καλλιτεχνικά statements για την ειρήνη στον κόσμο! Most people miss this location but I really recommend going there. The pictures will be very photogenic and you get something to learn about the history Easy to locate and get photo. It’s standalone so it was quiet when we were there Curiosa escultura en una ciudad con mucho encanto It is a good idea and I like that is replicated in several cities. But it was much smaller than what I expected Expressive There was construction work going on when we visited so it wasn't visible from afar. That being said it's hardly visible from a distance cause it's quite smaller than depicted in the pictures online. It's worth a visit if you are in the vicinity but I wouldn't bother to walk an extra km to see it. 4 stars for the meaning of the although it could be bigger and in a dedicated place to make more of an impact imho. Está escultura está cerca de la estación del tren y del puerto. El problema es que es de tamaño reducido, uno se espera algo grande y mide como mucho medio metro, pero en la zona que está cerca de las nuevas universidades está en una zona agradable. Wer Kunst mag: Ok. Für mich fehlt eine Geschichte. The Knotted Gun is a non-violence sculpture. I was surprised by it’s size. I was expecting it will be much bigger but it still has a very strong message. The gun is situated in a good surrounding. Nice idea behind it... if only it were that simple.
