Bokkenrijder, Bronze sculpture in Oosterpark, Amsterdam, Netherlands
The Bokkenrijder statue depicts a boy riding a goat, created by artist Gerrit Bolhuis and mounted on a brick base in Oosterpark.
The bronze sculpture was initially displayed in the Stedelijk Museum garden during the 1950s before being permanently installed at its current location in 1957.
The statue represents Dutch folklore about goat riders, creating an engaging piece of public art where children can climb and interact with the sculpture.
Located at coordinates 52°21'36"N and 4°55'16"E in Amsterdam East, the sculpture stands among several other public artworks in the expansive Oosterpark.
Children discovered they could climb not only on the goat but also on the back of the boy figure, making it an interactive playground feature.
