More Art in Rotterdam...

Apologies for the delay in finishing this post about our afternoon in Rotterdam (things have been extra hectic lately).
Of course, we had to show Veronica this clever cycling wall, where she hopped on both the pedals...
…and the luggage rack. 
This cool orange metal sculpture was built in 1993 to represent the Delftse Poort, a medieval city gate that was originally built in 1545. It had been repaired several times over the years and then was destroyed during World War II. 
Nearby was this cool modern sculpture...
…some cool reflections...
…and a cool set of swings.
Somehow I’d never seen this incredible mosaic wall depicting medieval Rotterdam high up on a wall on the edge of the shopping district.
Cascade is a large sculpture made out of polyester of 18 oil drums with people essentially dripping down.
Saw these funny murals painted outside closed stores...
…this funny sign on the side of an eclectic shop... 
…and this famous Andy Warhol quote alongside another (although Smithsonian magazine suspects he never actually said those words).
