Are you planning to visit the city of Namur in Wallonia, Belgium, but not sure what to do? Try a scavenger hunt through the city center, trying to find all 40+ miniatures hidden in plain sight.

The miniatures of Spanish artist Isaac Cordal, representing anonymous civil servants, aim to let passersby contemplate consumerism, social inequality, the absurdity of our existence, and the place of the little man in our contemporary society.

Besides the locations marked on the city map, several unmarked miniatures are said to be hidden in various places. Ignore the frustration associated with looking for needles in a haystack the size of Namur’s city center, and let yourself be rewarded with finding one if you’re lucky!

A map with the location of several miniatures is provided on the website of Namur's tourism office.
