Beer De Staalman, also known as Bear The Steel Man is a sculpture located in the south-west end of Amsterdam. The bear is 10 metres tall and is made of steel rebar. He was completed in 2011.
The bear appears to be lumbering along carrying a pillow. He just wants a place to lie down and take a nap. The steel rebar inside the bear was sprayed with concrete and then styled and painted to give him the look of brown fur.
We travelled a little out of our way from our hotel near Centraal Station just to say hello to Bear The Steel Man. The bear was designed with the help of young children from the local neighbourhood. Good work all around as this bear statue brightened our day.
