Borstplaat - Free Audio Guide

Borstplaat, also known as "De gestreelde borst," is a bronze relief located in the Oudekerksplein in Amsterdam-Centrum. Created by the anonymous artist known as De Onbekende Beeldhouwer, it features two breasts and a hand grasping one of them. Installed in February 1993, it faced controversy regarding its appropriateness in the area but was reinstalled after modifications to reduce noise. The site is significant for its unique blend of street art and public space, reflecting Amsterdam's vibrant artistic culture. Visitors can view the artwork at any time as it is open to the public, though there are no admission fees. Accessibility is reasonable, situated in a busy area frequented by tourists.
