47 exhibition NIJNTJE ART PARADE
art, design, food
The Netherlands’s fluffiest icon celebrates its 60th birthday this year. Nijntje – or ‘Miffy’ for everyone outside the Netherlands – is celebrating with 60 fabulous new ‘birthday suits’, created by famous Dutch and Japanese artists, designers and photographers – think: fashion illustrator Piet Paris, artist Selwyn Senatori and fashion designer Bas Kosters. The Nijntje Art Parade will comprise 45 impeccably dressed Nijntje statues dotted around the Netherlands. Spot the fashionable rabbits on Amsterdam’s Museumplein, at the Conservatorium Hotel and at Schiphol Airport. The statues will be auctioned in September in aid of UNICEF, but you can buy your own pocket-sized version or a photography book of them all.
