One of Holland’s most popular attractions is taking a break for the next two years. Since 2004, American Tom Otterness’s playful sculptures have been a major drawcard at the seafront in Scheveningen, just outside The Hague.
But as the beachfront undergoes redevelopment until 2012, the sculptures of ‘sprookjes’ (folk tales) had to go. The plan is that they will be back when the work is complete, but I’m glad we were able to see them before they went to the warehouse.
My photos are basic, but there are lovely ones to be seen on the official website.
