In 1985, the courtyard of the central building of K. Preikšas Pedagogical Institute (now Šiauliai University) was decorated with the sculptor Aloyzas Toleikis’ decorative bronze sculpture of “The Girl with a Small Pipe”. This sculpture stood in the inner courtyard of Šiauliai University for more than 20 years but at the beginning of reconstruction of the courtyard it was decided to move it elsewhere.
The author of the piece of art Aloyzas Toleikis, who has selected the place for the sculpture next to Didždvaris gymnasium, is pleased that this is a very good place for the sculpture because it is busy, well-liked by young people and properly lighted. The sculpture symbolizing youth, like stiffened music radiates goodness and gives a sense to the history of Šiauliai girls’ gymnasium, which goes back to more than a hundred years.
