Totem
In order to commemorate the 575th anniversary of the Catholic University of Leuven, the town commissioned a sculpture from Belgian artist Jan Fabre. Although most people think of beer and Medieval town squares when they picture Leuven, Fabre decided to go with a modern theme and erected his sculpture Totem in 2005. The sculpture, a green beetle impaled on a 23-foot needle, sits immediately in front of the University Library.
