小便小僧
Although the proliferation of costumes is of 20th-century origin, the occasional use of costumes dates back almost to the date of casting; the oldest costume on display, in the City Museum, being of 17th-century origin. In 1756, an inventory indicates that "Manneken Pis" had five complete costumes. From 1918 to 1940, he was offered some thirty costumes. But it was especially after 1945 that the movement took on an exceptional dimension; he had more than 400 costumes in 1994, more than 750 in 2005, and more than 950 in 2016.
