  • nl

You're standing at the Monument Indië-Nederland, in a small park on the Olympiaplein in Amsterdam-Zuid. Start with the woman in the middle. She holds a scroll of law and stands for Dutch authority in the East Indies. There's a lion on either side of her, which is why locals have long called her Mien met de hondjes, Mien with the little dogs.
