The most striking example of public art is the Damme Sculpture Trail. Diverse artworks in the city center invite visitors to linger and contemplate. These include figures by nationally renowned artists, as well as works such as the "Fool's Column," one of Damme's landmarks, which was created by students of the Damme Secondary School and erected in 1999. A total of 44 sculptures are now located at 37 locations in Damme's city center. This is likely the largest open-air art exhibition in the entire Weser-Ems region. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damme_(D%C3%BCmmer)
