Konstverk Kunskapens port

The Gate of Knowledge

Artist: Harry Loontjens (1946 - )

Location: Ljungby, Kungshögsskolan

Year: 2011

The Gate of Knowledge is an austere, simple and at the same time somewhat odd figure in painted concrete and stainless steel. Placed outside the main entrance of Kungshögsskolan, it welcomes students to take part in the school's knowledge. The artist formulates the following words about the work of art: "Knowledge is necessary to understand. The first step is to learn to read and write. The school is the gate into this world, the world of knowledge that helps to understand our similarities and differences".
