Manneken Pis - Petite Julien, Brussels - Bruxelles, Belgium
Manneken Pis (Dutch), also known in French as the petit Julien, is a very famous Brussels landmark. It is a small bronze fountain sculpture depicting a naked little boy finding relief by urinating into the fountain's basin.
From time to time, the statue is dressed in a costume. However, unlike the last time I visited, he was totally unclad on this visit. His wardrobe now consists of several hundred different costumes and his dress varies according to a schedule managed by the non-profit association The Friends of Manneken-Pis, in ceremonies that are often accompanied by brass band music.
On occasion, the statue is hooked up to a keg of beer. Cups will be filled up with the beer flowing from the statue and given out to people passing by.
