Meet Miffy the Rabbit, the symbol of Utrecht, created by the Dutch artist Dick Bruna.
Miffy shows up everywhere in the city, including the shops of course, where the Miffy franchise makes a decent profit. Obviously the city’s PR people are all behind it…But I wonder if the people of Utrecht are equally enchanted?
Side note: Despite Miffy’s look of perplexed innocence she is actually a venerable creature, created in 1955 by the Dutch artist and citizen of Utrecht Dick Bruna.
I LOVE the “walk” light.
Somebody was having fun!
Cute!
How wonderfully creative! Cheers =)
Love the pics, so cute miffy.
I’ll have the Miffy theme song haunting my dreams forever after having to watch it on repeat thanks to my (then) 3 year old!
I suppose the theme song is as cute as Miffy?
Oh yes.. Miffy the smart little bunny And the cute little bunny.. Blows my mind that shes 60! I showed my son your post last night- he was very impressed 🙂
🙂 This is a fun symbol and I like the idea of a city having one.
HAPPY Sunday 🙂
What I like is the long association (60 years ) of Miffy with Utrecht – she really deserves to be a symbol!
