About the artwork

The Nonnenbrug is a 1978 fixed stone bridge in the city centre of the Dutch city of Leiden. The bridge connects the Nonnensteeg and the Kloksteeg near the Academiegebouw and bridges the Rapenburg.The first bridge on this site was built in 1426 (according to a city account from that year, a new bridge was built 'between lord Jacobs van Rysoorde ende den Baghinen').
