“The Regular Customer” is a bronze statue in front of Café “Festina Lente” on Looiersgracht, in “De Jordaan”. It shows a man sitting on a bench, gently petting the café cat. The artwork was made in 1997 by Albert Zweep, inspired by the quiet and cozy mood found in the stories of Dutch writer Simon Carmiggelt.

The statue was made to pay off a bar tab of 2,400 guilders. At first, it was made of polyester, but after it got damaged a few times, Heineken helped fund a bronze version.

The ornate, intricately carved main doorway of the Basilica of St. Paul Outside The Walls is made of bronze with silver inlays. It is flanked by marble sculptures and framed by an intricately detailed pediment with classical motifs.

Happy #Doorsday everyone! 🚪
Here is #Germany's most famous #door (the website even claims it may be the most famous door in the world, ha!): The "Theses #Doors" of the All Saints' #Church in #Wittenberg. It is said that Martin Luther posted his 95 theses on this door. These theses launched the #Protestant #Reformation in 1517, resulting in the birth of #Protestantism.

Of course this is not the original door from back then. It burned down in 1760 in the Seven Years' War, together with most of the church, and was replaced. These #bronze doors were installed on Luther's 375th birthday in 1858, with his theses inscribed in Latin. Today, the doors are only used for special occasions. And for photos of course. Lots and lots of photos ... 😋
