The official name is Walking to Borås. Locals just call it Pinocchio. It is a nine-metre bronze sculpture by the American pop artist Jim Dine, planted in the middle of Stora Torget in front of the town hall, depicting the famous puppet mid-stride. It is the most recognisable piece in the city's open-air sculpture collection and the unofficial centre of Borås.
Whether you find it charming, ridiculous, or magnificent depends on your taste. It has become, regardless, the photograph everyone takes. From the square you can walk the rest of the Borås sculpture route — works by Tony Cragg, Pierre Huyghe, Antony Gormley, Lars Vilks, and others — most of them within a 15-minute radius.
