Art route along the Groninger singels.

Follow the winding "sensory path" past special plant species to a bubbling spring. Halfway up the path, at a circular terrace, look up. On the wall hangs a stone plate with a poem by photographer and poet Rommert Boonstra. This evokes the atmosphere of the (former) Nature Museum.

Artist Noud de Wolf also designed the fencing. According to him, the decorative pattern of stylized tree trunks, branches and foliage should represent a "compressed forest".

This work by Hugo Hol is the first monument in the Netherlands erected as a protest against the nuclear arms race. In the 1980s there was a heated debate about nuclear weapons and nuclear energy. On November 1, 1985, at the symbolic time five to twelve, the statue was handed over to the then mayor of Groningen.

Seated youth is (consciously) reminiscent of classical sculptures: the youth is naked, athletically built and depicted in ideal body proportions. This way of depicting the male nude - with an emphasis on idealization and strength - was also common in ancient Greece.

Sculptor Fransje Carbasius made this the bronze statue at the age of seventy and the choice of subject is characteristic of her oeuvre. She preferred to capture children and animals in her sculptures and reliefs. She kept monkeys, birds and rats in her studio to study the animal models.

Kees Verkade has clearly portrayed the dynamics and shaky mobility of a cycling lesson in this artwork. The strength of the pushing father is reflected in his bent over posture and big step. The small child barely controls the handlebars of the bicycle with the large wheels.

If you look closely, you can see that the traces of the sculpting Verkade can still be clearly seen in the cast bronze.

The Tschumi Pavilion was realized in 1990 as part of the What a Wonderfull World manifestation, as was the Videobusstop on this route.

Since 1995, various temporary multimedia projects by artists from the Netherlands and abroad have been shown every year. Due to the design of the pavilion, all projects are clearly visible to everyone who passes by or is waiting for the bus. View here what is currently on display in the Tschumi Pavilion.

Abraham Hesselink made this monument in 1922 in memory of the painter Jozef Israëls. The sculpture group is inspired by a painting by Israëls, Along Mother's Grave (Langs moeders graf), which the Groninger Museum has on long-term loan.

In the Year of Werkman in 1995, the municipality of Groningen commissioned Armando to make a memorial as a tribute to the Groningen printer and artist Hendrik Nicolaas Werkman.

It was immediately clear to Armando that the monument had to be a bronze tree. For the artist, who experienced World War II as a child, trees are linked to that war. Before the war he played in the trees and during the war he had to cut them down. Werkman also mentioned cutting down trees in his letters. The tree symbolizes strength but also vulnerability at the same time, it stands for intransigence and rebelliousness. A silent witness to what happened during the war years.

This Foal is the little brother of Het peerd van Ome Loeks and is also called "Lutje Loeks" (little Loeks). The method of Wladimir de Vries can clearly be deduced from the skin of the bronze statue. The artist made a clay model. He regularly applied small, flat balls the size of a dime to the model. This technique is also called the "dime method". The contours fade a bit and the play of light and shadow is enlivened by it.

This blue square symbolizes the window on the world.

With the minor architectural intervention on the Winschoterkade, the architect Manuel de Solà-Morales wants to make a 'messy and forgotten corner' a place for contemplation again. With the sofa, the window and the balcony, it is “a kind of sitting room where one can quietly enjoy the rich and varied panorama that the city and water have to offer”.
