The variety of statues in Budapest is amazing. They are found all over the place--on buildings, on pedestals, in parks, etc. Here is a sampling.
Greek gods seem to be on every corner! I suppose ancient mythology is always a popular subject.

Bas-relief is also a popular option on buildings.

A permanent parade! |

Free standing statues are in abundance as well, either in a larger display like a fountain or on their own pedestals.

Some hero |
This next statue was probably the most impressive to me, just for the achievement. The stone block has been carved in such a way that it seems like a conventional statue. But really it is hollowed out. I guess it's the opposite of bas-relief.

Last but not least is this statue near the comic opera.

Don't lose your head trying to figure it out! |
We didn't spend too much time trying to understand this statue. The hat on the right has a grinning skull in a hand and you can see the smiling face in the other hand. Comedy and tragedy would be my guess.
