This interactive artwork celebrates unique stories and memories from Möklinta. Visitors can discover the towering 17.72-meter-high woodpile that set a world record in 1992, and immerse themselves in the lively atmosphere of the previous anual festival Möklintaveckan. From dance and cow bingo to the coal mile, axe throwing, music, and more, the event has left countless unforgettable memories. The artwork also highlights the iconic Möklintagården, a hub for parties, soup lunches, meetings, theater, and even a 140-meter-long carpet weaving. You’ll encounter figures from the local community, including the motorcycle enthusiast, the Latvian folk dancers, and Kerstin's daughter’s white dog—all captured in motion on the statue. We invite you to experience this vibrant piece of Möklinta's history at Grimkärrsvägen 1.
