Web history

This 12-metre-high fresco was created to mark the 30th anniversary of Belgian Hip Hop. The choice of location wasn’t left to chance: it is the former Maison du Folklore, a building steeped in history that has housed the Manneken-Pis wardrobe since 2017. The fresco depicts Belgium’s icon dressed in his hip hop costume. It’s a colourful tribute to both branches of art – hip hop and street art – and to our national folklore.
