You're standing by De Schreeuw, which means The Scream, on the edge of the Oosterpark in Amsterdam. Look at the tall stainless steel sculpture in front of you. It's four and a half metres high and shaped like a face seen in profile. Walk slowly around it. On one side, the mouth is wide open, screaming. On the other side, the mouth is closed.
