The very cool and fancy sculptures of Oscar Wilde and a woman who probably is a portrait of his wife Constance, can be found close to his place of birth (Merrion Square). I spent some timer here taking photos. A must see because it is such an unusal work of Art. Wilde feels very much alive and colorful.

The statue of Irish playwright and poet Oscar Wilde by Danny Osborne sits in a secluded corner of Merrion Square. Wilde spent his childhood living at No 1 Merrion Square and the statue is a fitting tribute to the turbulent and flamboyant man.

In Merrion Square, inside the north west corner gateway, there's a statue of Oscar Wilde composed of different coloured stone, sitting on a large granite boulder. This has been called at least once The Queer with the Leer, The Fag on the Crag or The Quare in the Square ("quare" being a dialectal Irish pronunciation of queer).

In a typical park between the typical Dublin Houses on the Corner in Front of the House where he has lived you will find the statue of Oscar Wilde
