Rainbow

TIME : 2016/2/18 23:18:33

Created by artist Julita Wójcik, this impressive rainbow arch covered with multicoloured artificial flowers originally stood in Brussels to mark Poland's 2011 presidency of the EU. Reinstalled on Plac Zbawiciela, it became a controversial symbol of equality and diversity. The structure was set on fire several times, though always rebuilt.

In late August 2015 it was dismantled, and placed into storage; Rainbow will survive, though in what form is unclear. Ask at the tourist office for details of its current location.
