Simian Switch: Untitled
On the side of Dolhuisstraat 53, you can find this mural by the curator himself, Simian Switch. The Dolhuis was a lunatic asylum back in 1463, and is now a party centre.
Because Simian and the owner of the party centre have a pact, every once in a while you will find a new mural here.
(I am sorry for the car in the picture, but after getting here for 3 days in a row on different times, i always encountered the car. If you check google maps, you can check this part without the car.)
