The initial idea was of the Dutch ambassador to 'adopt' a wall in Sofia and to paint on it a poem. The initiative started on July 2004 by painting of So I Believe That Also You Are by Jan Hanlo on the back wall of the Museum of Natural History (Moskovska Street). The desing is of Dutch artists Tim Ayres and Rutger Fuchs and was done by students of Bulgarian Academy of Arts.
A poem by Hungarian poet Sandor Petofi can be seen on the wall of a school on Ivan Shishman Str.
