Statues To See - Places To Pose For Selfies: with Einstein or Robin Hood, or maybe a guitar?

Problem
What can you see which is free, and isn't shut when it rains or on Monday in winter?
Statues.

Answer
Public statues. Great for the cover of a book, travel diary or start of a slide show.
I've got a little list, as comic opera writer Gilbert would say.

Should you only visit statues of real people? Heroes and heroines from history. learning about history of your own country and other people's. Or is it worthwhile to see statues of biblical characters, heroes from history, myths, angels, devils, monsters, characters from films, guitars and funny animals and advertising signs.

Real and Mythical People:

The Agatha Christie Memorial is a memorial to author and playwright Agatha Christie, located at the intersection of Cranbourn Street and Great Newport Street by St Martin's Cross near Covent Garden, in London, United Kingdom.

Washington DC
Einstein, huge seated statue. You can sit beside him. In Washington DC near the Lincoln Memorial.

I thought statues of Queen Victoria would be the most popular. I have seen so many around the world, in the London, England, the USA, Singapore and New Zealand.

However, I was amazed by the number of statues worldwide to Robbie Burns.

American and New Zealand have the most amusing, unexpected statues.
