Guided Story

Take a moment to look up and be amazed by the sheer size of the Walking Man. Standing proudly on Leopoldstraße, this sculpture is the creation of American artist Jonathan Borofsky. Here's something you might not know: the Walking Man is part of a series of giant figures Borofsky has placed around the world. Each one represents the universal human urge to move forward. If you look closely, you might spot tiny numbers on the sculpture’s surface. These numbers are a nod to Borofsky's lifelong habit of numbering his dreams. It's like a diary woven into the art itself. So while you're here, imagine the Walking Man striding through the streets of the world, ever in search of new stories and adventures.
