LES 2 WILDE EN CONVERSATION

Oscar et Eduard Wilde, deux écrivains un Irlandais et un Estonien auraient pu se rencontrer en 1892. Cette sculpture a été un cadeau de la ville de Tartu en Estonie à la ville de Galway en 2004. C'est une réplique de la statue qui se trouve devant le Wilde Pub irlandais à Tartu.

"La conversation doit tout aborder mais ne rien approfondir." Oscar Wilde

"Oscar Wilde will sit permanently on William Street, Galway, along with the famous Estonian writer, Eduard Wilde, from Saturday the 24th April 2004, as the City of Tartu in Estonia are presenting Galway with a replica of their most famous sculpture ahead of the 'Day of Welcomes' celebration.

The sculpture will be officially unveiled on William Street (outside Matt O'Flaherty's Pharmacy), at 1pm by the Mayor of Galway, Terry O'Flaherty, who will be joined by a host of Estonian dignitaries, including the Ambassador to Ireland, Simmu Tiik.

The sculpture is a replica of the whimsical streetscape image that sits outside the Wilde Irish Pub in Tartu, Estonia. The two Wildes were contemporary Irish and Estonian writers and this sculpture imagines their possible meeting in 1892."
