Three Monkeys Around the World – A Map of Places and People
Discover the world of the Three Monkeys from a completely new perspective
Our interactive map shows where the “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” motif appears around the world – in private collections, public places, and even the names of businesses. Discover how far the 3@ symbol reaches and who helps shape its meaning.
Three Monkeys are everywhere. Don’t believe it? Check the map!
All around the world, we discover places, people and stories connected to the symbol “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” – known as the Three Wise Monkeys. It’s not only collectible figurines, but also bar names, artworks, graffiti, logos or social initiatives.
On other pages of our project, you’ll find hundreds of examples showing how the Three Monkeys appear in pop culture, crafts, marketing or tattoos. Here – on this map – we gather them all in one place. We show how recognizable and peaceful this symbol is, and how it connects people across cultures and languages.
Each orange dot marks a collector or enthusiast. Green pins represent public places: pubs, galleries, sculptures and other appearances of the Three Monkeys in the world. 🧭 Move the map, click, and explore!
