Pontis has captured the public imagination both locally and nationally as an original and relevant permanent public art project.

Pontis, a Latin word referring to a 'bridge', links this Roman past with the twenty-first century in a subtle, witty and thought-provoking way. Installations at the Metro station and in the Museum have been enthusiastically received.
