The bridge spans between the Louvre and the Academy of Fine Arts (within the Institut de France) which is how it derived its name. Moreover, it is used as an open air studio by painters and other artists. It is a very light and airy structure. The bridge deck is made of wooden planks, the barrier rails are an open wire mesh, and the bridge only carries pedestrian traffic.
