The Chimney Sweep was made by Jevgēnijs Šitovs and dedicated on 21 May, 2010.
The origin of the statue goes back to 2008 when some students during exam week
noticed a chimney sweep on the rooftop of the building next door. The college students
believe it is good luck to touch one of the sweep's buttons before an examination.
