The Silly Walk Eindhoven

The creation is the work of Niels van Swaemen and Kasper van Leek, the talented street artists and designers behind Studio Giftig. It was unveiled in the spring of 2016. Locals are proud that John Cleese visited Eindhoven to declare the tunnel open. One end depicts a grinning Cleese as he looked back in 1970, when the Ministry of Silly Walks sketch was initially broadcast.
