17. My dad brought that statue home after WWII
He was released from a POW camp in Germany when the war ended and spent a week in Paris before returning home. I remember that figurine well as a child.


The world famous Manneken Pis has been performing since 1619.

The statue is very often dressed.

He has a wardrobe of more than 600 costumes, which are all preserved in the City Museum at the Grand Place.
