This fountain was designed by Yaacov Agam, a key figure in the history and development of the genre known as kinetic art. Born in Palestine, Agam moved to Paris in the early 1950s where he has spent much of his life. The musical fountain seen here was created in 1977.
The fountain's pool is made of polymorphic mosaic surface. It is comprised of 66 vertical water jets shooting water up to 14 meters. The fountain, at night beautifuly illuminated, was further enhanced with the addition of five new triple tulip jets in 1991.
