Sculpture of Oscar Wilde and Eduard Vilde

A sculpture created in Tartu's Old Town in 1999 depicts a fun speculation about the history of literature. Sitting on a bench are contemporaries and namesakes, or the two Wildes: Irish-born writer Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) and Estonian writer Eduard Vilde (1865-1933). Sculptor Tiiu Kirsipuu, who modeled the figures of the writers based on photographs, has noted that when creating the twin figures, she had in mind the year 1890, when the two Wildes could have really met each other and had a few witty words. The sculpture symbolizes friendship and intercultural dialogue. The sculpture of the two writers is located in front of the former Mattiesen printing house, one of Tartu's architectural monuments, which now houses the wine and art restaurant Vilde ja Vine. The statue is a beloved landmark among both locals and visitors. Sitting on the bench next to the writers allows you to take nice pictures as a souvenir of your visit to Tartu. In 2004, a copy of the sculpture was also donated to the city of Galway in Ireland, where the paternal family of literary classic Oscar Wilde came from.

Räpina Song Festival grove

The song festival grove was planted under the leadership of the locals in 1969, on the centenary of the song festival, on the peninsula created by the construction of the Võru Street Bridge (Võru tänava sild). The landscaping work was undertaken by the Räpina Women's and Male Choir, which was preparing for the song festival, with its conductors, and the members of the nature conservation society together with young nature lovers. Each choir singer could plant their own tree.Even today, many important events start from the song festival grove. For example, on Children's Song and Dance Day, it has become a tradition to start the parade from the song festival grove. As part of this, a rowan is planted there and greetings are given to the participants.
