Statue
About This Attraction
Manneken Pis is a famous bronze statue located in the heart of Brussels, Belgium. Created by sculptor Jérôme Duquesnoy the Elder in 1619, it depicts a small boy urinating into a fountain. The statue stands at about 61 centimeters tall and is situated near the Grand Place, making it an easy stop for tourists exploring the city center. Manneken Pis has become an iconic symbol of Brussels, and its playful design attracts visitors from all over the world.
The statue is often dressed in various costumes to celebrate different occasions and events, with over 1,000 outfits in its collection. These costumes are sometimes displayed at the City Museum on the Grand Place. Although Manneken Pis does not have specific opening hours as it is always accessible outdoors, visitors should check local guidelines for any changes due to events or maintenance. When visiting, people can enjoy the surrounding area filled with shops and cafes while taking pictures of this quirky landmark.
