About
An extraordinary museum just a stone’s throw from the famous fountain
Located only a few steps away from the fountain, the GardeRobe MannekenPis showcases around 140 outfits in its incredible collection. Whether gifts from athletes or a designer on behalf of a fashion house, the costumes come from all over the world and are displayed by theme: geographical origin, designers, celebrities, professions, sports, folklore and carnivals, charities, and associations.
The tradition of dressing the statue dates back at least to the 17th century.
In the past, the Brussels authorities or the governors general donated outfits for particular festivities. Today, Manneken-Pis receives between 20 and 30 new outfits each year. After an official presentation and a dressing at the fountain, each new outfit is added to the museum’s collection. The Museum regularly changes the exhibited outfits. Manneken-Pis is the only statue in the world with his very own wardrobe!
