Glacial erratic in front of the Rijksmuseum Twenthe. The stone was a citizens gift to Bernhard van Heek, the founder of the museum. The stone weights 28 tonnes.
The stone was named 'Kei van O' by local poet Bob Boswinkel. The O stands for Oddink, the name of the director of the museum.
Translation of the Dutch inscription: "Friends of the founder of this museum have, in the summer of 1928, brought this stone here from Erve Roolvink near the Lonnekerberg."
A local newsarticle about the stone can be found here
