Pissing Polar Bear at the museum
The giant Pissing Polar Bear is an eye-catcher in Groningen and empties its bladder in the canal opposite the main station. With Hofman’s Wurm, a gigantic earthworm, it forms a striking part of the Children’s Biennale in the Groninger Museum. The artwork, which expresses its dissatisfaction with climate problems, fits in perfectly with the theme of the Children’s Biennale and encourages you to think about your role in creating a better world.
