In honor of the new millennium, a large art event was held in the city of Utrecht in 1999. At the initiative of (then) director Sjarel Ex of the Centraal Museum Utrecht, Panorama 2000 was organized. Spread throughout the city, 24 works were realized by 20 different artists.
Panorama 2000 was a temporary exhibition where the intention was that all artworks would be removed afterwards. However, the artwork by Marc Ruygrok was purchased by the Dutch Railways, which is why the UFO on the roof of the head office (now ProRail) at the Moreelsepark can still be seen.
