>Manneken Pis (pronounced [ˌmɑnəkə(m) ˈpJs] ; Dutch for 'Little Pissing Man') is a landmark[1] 55.5 cm (21.9 in)[a] bronze fountain sculpture in central Brussels, Belgium, depicting a puer mingens; a naked little boy urinating into the fountain's basin. Though its existence is attested as early as the mid-15th century,[2] Manneken Pis was redesigned by the Brabantine sculptor Jérôme Duquesnoy the Elder and put in place in 1619.[3][4][5] Its stone niche in rocaille style dates from 1770.[6][4] The statue has been repeatedly stolen or damaged throughout its history. Since 1965, a replica has been displayed,[7] with the original stored in the Brussels City Museum.[4][8]
>Manneken Pis is one of the best-known symbols of Brussels and Belgium, inspiring several legends, as well as numerous imitations and similar statues both nationally and abroad.[9][10] The figure is regularly dressed up and its wardrobe consists of around one thousand different costumes. Since 2017, they have been exhibited in a dedicated museum called GardeRobe MannekenPis.[11][12] Owing to its self-derisive nature, Manneken Pis is also an example of belgitude (French; lit.'Belgianness'),[13] as well as of folk humour (zwanze) popular in Brussels.[14][15]
