Norfolk Mermaid Sculptures
Listed in Norfolk Open Data Portal
Mermaid sculptures have graced the city of Norfolk since 2000.
Description
Today, mermaids can be found throughout Norfolk as well as in neighboring cities. They can be found in front of businesses, inside and outside schools, near hospitals, and in homeowners' yards.
And, thanks to the Norfolk Sister City Association and others, mermaids can also be found in many countries around the world. Some mermaids are old, some are new. Some mermaids have had to be completely redone due to damage by the elements or vandalism.

The mermaids are owned by individuals, businesses, and other organizations. Most sponsors are also the owners in this dataset. The city of Norfolk does not own most of the mermaids and thus, we do not maintain them.
This dataset provides a listing of all known Norfolk mermaid sculptures and their locations as well as the artist’s name, the mermaid’s name, and photographs of the mermaid. If you know of a mermaid that is missing from this dataset, please email Come Home or use the online form. This dataset will be updated as new mermaids are reported.
