Manneken Pis (Dutch for little pee man), is a very famous Bruxelles landmark. It is a small bronze fountain sculpture depicting a naked little boy urinating into the fountain's basin. On many occasions, the statue is dressed in a costume. His wardrobe now consists of several hundred different costumes. The costumes are changed 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. The famous statue is located at the junction of Rue de l'Étuve & Eikstraat. One has to take the left lane next to the Bruxelles Town Hall building from the famous Grote Markt.The Manneken Pis - without any clothesDr Mama, Apai, Yameen and Kemar
