Fredsgudinnan – Goddess of Peace – Nuclear Disarmament
The monument is made of an approximately 200-year-old log anchor, which roughly corresponds to the time Sweden was spared from war. The anti-nuclear weapons symbol that the goddess of peace lifts up has its origins in the 1950s fight against nuclear weapons and is used today as a symbol of peace around the world.
The people of Sweden want to live in peace and therefore demand an alliance-free Sweden and a nuclear-weapon-free world! The sculpture was donated to Gothenburg’s peace-loving people by its creator BERTIL GUSTAFSSON. The monument was inaugurated on Hiroshima Day on 6 August 2018 and is managed by FREDSAM.
