Artwork: ‘Angels and Demons II‘
At the heart of the library stands the remarkable artwork created by Stefan Yordanov, a Bulgarian visual artist based in Amsterdam. His unique artwork often includes real biological shapes mixed with lights and cables, showing how anatomy and modern science connect. In the library, the piece ‘Angels and Demons II‘, encourages people to think about how humans, science, and creativity are all related, making the library a place for exploring ideas and knowledge.

In response to the faculty’s request, we are pleased to reopen the library on 10 June, offering study places to support students for the rest of this academic year.
