The covered Pont Neuf bridge in Paris, an installation by French street artist and photographer JR, opened on Monday after a delay due to weather damage, the organizers said.
Visitors can now step onto a walk-through installation, "La Caverne du Pont Neuf," the artist's team announced.
Strong winds had damaged the artwork two weeks ago. The opening originally planned for early this month was postponed and the installation repaired.
The opening of the art installation took place without much advance notice. "We spent days and nights rebuilding it," JR explained in a video posted on Instagram, admitting that at times they "no longer believed it would return."
Inspired by Christo and Jeanne-Claude
The artwork is an inflatable fabric cave landscape, 120 metres long, 20 metres wide and up to 18 metres high.
The project is a tribute to Christo and Jeanne-Claude, an artist duo famed for their monumental, temporary installations that "wrapped" landmarks - notably Paris' Pont Neuf in 1985 and Berlin's Reichstag in 1995.
The exact cost of JR's project is unknown, though media reports have put it in the six-figure range.
His team says it was carried out without public funding and financed through sales of JR’s works and support from private backers.
Set to music by a Daft Punk member
Like Christo, JR has said the aim is less the object itself than shifting how people see the city.
Former Daft Punk musician Thomas Bangalter has created a soundscape for the interior of the cave, which is open until June 28.
"La Caverne du Pont Neuf" is the largest project of JR's career to date. The French artist made his name with large-scale photographic installations in public spaces.
