Association: Round Table Belgium
Location: Brussels, Belgium (Google Maps)


During Annual General Meetings held in Brussels, the organisers might get permission to dress the 55.5 cm (21.9 in) bronze fountain sculpture in central Brussels in Round Table regalia, including his own embroidered jacket and jewels. The outfit is approved, and scheduled by The Order of the Friends of Manneken Pis, and keep the outfit in a specially designed museum, called GardeRobe MannekenPis until needed again.

The statue is further temporarily modified to urinate beer. Tablers will be able to consume the boy’s gift at a street party at this crossroads, in the middle of Brussels.

This is one of the most fleeting and temporary Round Table Landmarks, and can be enjoyed for about two afternoons every decade, typically in May. The most recent dressing up took place during the RT Belgium AGM of 2025.

Brâncuși’s Endless Column (or Infinite Column) is part of the Sculptural Ensemble of Constantin Brâncuși in the city of Târgu Jiu, located in the Oltenia province. It was built in 1938 and symbolizes the concept of infinity and the endless sacrifice of Romanian soldiers.

The sculpture consists of 15 rhomboidal modules, with a half-unit at both the top and bottom, totaling 16 elements. The incomplete top unit is believed to represent the idea of infinity—a symbolic link between Earth and Sky. The column stands 29.35 meters tall and is made of cast iron.

Since 2013, it has served as the symbol of Round Table Romania. This makes the monument an attractive landmark to any visiting Tablers.

In its presence, visitors would say “Noi medităm la infinit…”, which would translate to “Here, we stand in meditation before the infinite.”
