The sculpture was unveiled in 1971. It symbolises the bond between Europe and North America, and is inspired by the alliance's flag, which was introduced in 1953.[1]
At NATO's old headquarters, the star was surrounded by the flags of the NATO member countries.[2] When NATO moved to its new headquarters, the star moved across Boulevard Leopold III to its new home on Saturday 28 May 2016.[1]
