Chisinau is a hungry city - here we appreciate all artworks, whether they're small or big. To see the smallest sculpture in the city, you need a sharp eye and a walk around the park Valea Morilor.
The local designer and illustrator, Igor Udușlivîi, came up with the idea of having Saint-Exupery's character, the Little Prince, in our park. As the cold weather is coming, maybe you'll get lucky and see the Little Prince all dressed up, as it has become a tradition for locals to put seasonal clothes on the little guy. The tidy artwork complements the romantic view of the lake perfectly.
It is a bit tricky to find it, so I invite you to treat this experience as a quest, as there are also other sculptures or visual artworks around the park that you might discover.
