Happy memories! Never seen without a cone ... they even make T-shirts for GOMA with him like this.
I've heard they're thinking of adapting the sculpture and adding a permanent cone (no kidding!)
Well, I know that they don't remove the cone any more, cause every time they took one off someone else climbed up within hours and replaced it ... so the cone kinda is permanent these days ... not like when I was a girl and the Authorities tried to stamp out this kind of thing ...
