The artwork has been placed on the outside wall and is made together with 'Bouwontwerpbureau Splatch' and the children of the school. This year the school is celebrating its 100th birthday.

Large mural

The stonewall is 22 metres long, 2,5 metres high and will be a real eyecather in town. The sketches for this artwork has been made with the help of 60 children of Montessorischool Dukenburg in the city Nijmegen. The result is an unforgettable dreamlandscape.
