Salmon of Knowledge, better known as the Big Fish, is a 10-metre ceramic-skinned salmon made to celebrate the return of salmon to the previously polluted River Lagan. This is just one of a series of fascinating pieces of public art by artists with connections to Belfast.
Created in 1999 by local artist John Kindness, the sculpture's 'skin' is decorated with a mosaic of texts and messages relating to Belfast's history. Included is material from Tudor times to recent newspaper headlines, along with contributions from Belfast schoolchildren.
Directions: on Donegall Quay, just near the Lagan Boat Company tours, a few steps from famous Albert's Clock
