Just outside the Ifö factory in Bromölla, live-sized ceramic dinosaurs sunbathe on a ceramic cliff surrounded by springwater. Or should be, but there was no water when we visited.
Scanisaurus is the masterpiece of Sweden’s renowned ceramic artist, Gunnar Nylund. It is a one of a kind artwork, made by hand and consisting of more than 3000 individual pieces.
In 2014 many of the original plaster forms that were used to make the fountain were rediscovered by Ifö Center’s artists. They are now under restoration at the Center and the goal is to produce new parts and restore Scanisaurus for the 50th anniversary in 2021.
The funny thing is, that the discovery of the plaster forms was what finally convinced ROA to come over from Australia to paint T-Rex in 2014.
This is my third post from Ifö Center. Here are links to the previous posts:

These are amazing:)

Ifö centre certainly provided you with some great sights, and great images, A C!!
It did, Sue – a lovely surprise the whole experience!!
Good!
Extraordinary – but fascinating, and lovely too. You do introduce us to some wonderful off-the-trail places.
Ha, yes – some half an hour away from my home – and never knew it was there until some weeks ago! Covid makes you roam your own vicinity more closely.
Exactly. There have been (a few) lasting benefits.
A few…
That is fabulous! Who is ROA?
He’s a world famous artist from Belgium. I wrote about his work in my first post. Wikipedia has more about him.
I have a mind like a sieve. I will search it up. 🙂
No you don’t…I didn’t write much – sent a link though!
Amazing, unique, and beautiful. 🙂

Thank you, Janet – a lovely surprise finding it!

My thinking too, Brian. Until some weeks ago I had no idea it was there!
