The building on a foggy morning takes on a ghostly appearance. In 1957, the architects of the new hospital at Altnagelvin commissioned the striking bronze 'Princess Macha' from FE McWilliam, referred to by Mike Catto in Art in Ulster as "the coming of age of Ulster sculpture". This landmark sculpture also marks the beginning of a series of public art commissions within the health service in Northern Ireland.
