Vienna (Austria) Owls on the library building The owl has been a symbol of wisdom and learnedness since antiquity. The owl sculptures on the library building were created by Swiss artist, Bruno Weber. Together, the figures form a surreal family of owl-like people. The large owl sculpture is the most striking and best known feature of the building. It measures 18 m in height and was cast in concrete on site. The ‘original’ can be found in Bruno Weber’s sculpture park, opens an external URL in a new window in Dietikon near Zurich. The sculpture, which adorns the building’s corner pillar, combines metaphor, allegory and ornamentation to create a striking symbol of transcendence. The mythical half-man half-bird creation encapsulates a desire to free the mind and spirit. It also evokes the image of the bringer of light – the owl as a symbol of wisdom shining through the darkness of ignorance. 16 small owls adorn the arrow-like projections around the ledge at the top of the library building. Together, the figures form a surreal family of owl-like people.
