“Wandelend naar de Nieuwmarkt” (strolling to the Nieuwmarkt).
Martie van de Loo created the sculptures for the “Varkenssluis” and the “Paulusbroedersluis”, two bridges crossing the Oudezijds Voorburgwal and Achterburgwal. The legless figures represent pedestrians walking between Dam Square and Nieuwmarkt. Their Eastern features are a nod to the nearby Chinatown.
The original sculptures (placed in “84) were damaged by vandalism—some were knocked over, others beheaded. Van de Loo later made stronger versions with granite arms. The design is inspired by the Amsterdam School architectural style.

The bronze statue of Major Alida Bosshardt stands, or better yet… sits, on the Oudezijds Voorburgwal, in front of the “Salvation Army” building. Made by artist Peter de Leeuwe in 2013 as a tribute to her years of service to the vulnerable. 
Born on June 8, 1913, in Utrecht, and passing on June 25, 2007, in Amsterdam, Bosshardt was a key “Salvation Army” figure. During WWII, she helped Jewish children and later supported sex workers and the homeless in the Red Light District.
Her efforts earned national recognition, including the title ‘Righteous Among the Nations’ from “Yad Vashem” in 2004.

The “Wiegbrug” (bridge no. 173) is a movable bridge over the Kostverlorenvaart. It links De Clercqstraat with Admiraal de Ruijterweg. The name refers to the type of bridge built here in 1904: a rolling bascule bridge. 
In 2004, artist Leonie Mijnlieff added a piece of art to the bridgekeeper’s house. Called “Boegbeeld”, the artwork marks the entrance to ‘De Baarsjes’ and refers to nearby streets, named after Dutch naval heroes. Historic ships once had decorative figureheads. Unlike those, this one doesn’t set sail.

Prometheus a sculpture from two years ago. Now I'm thinking Elephantman?
"From different angles, no clear head or foot, punctured slits and holes.. Prometheus tends to change its shape. Opening.. and closing…
Together with the constant change in light, during night and day and its geometric perforated shell Prometheus creates a changing play between shadow and light."
An almost perfect looking marble angel… 🪽
In 2018, the “Hermitage Amsterdam” hosted ‘Classic Beauties’, an exhibition on neoclassicism. Featuring over 60 works by 25 leading artists, it explored the influence of antiquity on 18th-century art.
Until 2022 it hosted exhibitions featuring art from the “Hermitage” in Saint Petersburg but eventually, the ties with Russia were severed, due to the Russian aggression in Ukraine. By fall 2023, the museum was renamed to “H’ART Museum”

The statue of Mahatma Gandhi on Churchill-laan was created by sculptor Karel Gomes and placed in 
.
Its location is symbolic, as Churchill and Gandhi were political opponents. Churchill once called Gandhi a ‘half-naked fakir’ but later sent his condolences after Gandhi crossed over to the other side.
The statue shows a humble Gandhi,walking in a dhoti and sandals, holding a staff and a book. A colorful stone pattern leading to the statue symbolizes the unity of opposites he sought during his life.

RTL Nieuws · Dit kaartje brengt haarscherp in beeld hoe we steeds dikker wordenWe zijn met z'n allen minder gaan roken en drinken in de afgelopen tien jaar, maar we worden ook al jaren steeds een beetje dikker. Waar obesitas in 1981 amper voorkwam, is het inmiddels een serieus probleem. "Er zijn heel veel achterliggende factoren die zorgen voor overgewicht en obesitas", zegt onderzoeker Marije van Koperen van het RIVM.
