In recent years, the Dutch kissing couple (The Kissing Couple XXXL) has become a true symbol of Dutch love. It has a typically Dutch look due to its Dutch clothing.
A popular pose among couples is always 'the kissing couple'. It is very simple: the man and woman face each other, hands behind their backs. Lean forward and KISS.
Although it is a very popular symbol of the Netherlands, there was no place to visit the kissing couple. Tulips can be seen at the Keukenhof. Windmills at Kinderdijk or the Zaanse Schans. But there was no place for the kissing couple yet. Until an 8-metre-high statue was unveiled in Zaandam in 2017.
