My dad was an Anatomist -he taught human anatomy to first year medical students. And he was interested in photographing human anatomy whether real, or artistic. So of course he took photos of the Manneken Pis statue. Manneken Pis is the name of the statue of a little boy who is urinating - he supplies water to what was at one time a water supply for the city.

He no longer has that function. He was 'dressed' in costumes four times a year, but we did not see that. Now he has many costumes and there is a schedule that you can consult so that you can time your visit to the costume schedule.

Statue of Antoine Depage (1862-1925) with unknown man. I presume the man was a Belgium anatomist because Antoine Depage was the Belgium Royal Surgeon who due to his experiences in the Great War, he formulated a plan for wound care. He also started the Belgium Red Cross and was a founder of Scouting in Belgium
