Monday - Leiden open air poetry museum

While walking around Leiden you may chance upon a poem, sometimes written in Dutch, often in another language, painted on the side of a building.

They are part of a project started in 1992 and include a grand total of 101 poems scattered across the town.

Here's a list (in Dutch):

Apparently, several other cities around the world followed Leiden's example and started similar projects too.
