Danaiden
Johannes C. Bjerg (1970)
I 1970 kom Danaiden, lavet af Johannes C. Bjerg, til at stå for enden af spejlbassinet.
Danaiderne stammer fra den græske mytologi, hvor døtrene af Kong Danaos dræbte deres ægtemænd på bryllupsnatten, og som straf endte i Hades, hvor de tilbragte evigheden med at fylde bundløse kar med vand. Derfor bærer statuen en krukke på hovedet.
Johannes C. Bjerg er desuden kunstneren bag bronzeskulpturen Agnete og Havmanden ved Park Allé, Elskovskampen i Mølleparken, Den Svangre i Rådhusparken og Uffe hin Spage i Vennelystparken.

In 1970, The Danaid, created by Johannes C. Bjerg, was placed at the end of the reflecting pool.
The Danaids come from Greek mythology, where the daughters of King Danaus killed their husbands on their wedding night. As punishment, they were condemned to Hades, where they spent eternity filling bottomless vessels with water. This is why the statue carries a jar on its head.
Johannes C. Bjerg is also the artist behind the bronze sculpture Agnete and the Merman at Park Allé, The Struggle of Love in Mølleparken, The Pregnant Woman in Rådhusparken, and Uffe the Bold in Vennelystparken.
