Escalator Up? Take the Musical Piano Stairs Instead

Art by playthisDo you take the stairs or the escalator when given the choice?

If you tend to opt for the moving-staircase, these Piano Stairs might change your mind.

Created through the intiative of Volkswagen, thefuntheory.com began a series of scenarios:

"...dedicated to the thought that something as simple as fun is the easiest way to change people’s behavior for the better. Be it for yourself, for the environment, or for something entirely different, the only thing that matters is that it’s change for the better." - thefuntheory.com

I love watching the intrigued people examine this retrofitted staircase in Stockholm’s Odenplan subway station, and observing as many of them to let their inhabitions go.

Now if all stair climbing was so fun, eh?

SWEET! I want stairs like that, could really get a good workout. Chords would be tough though, hehe.

That would be so much fun! If we had those in St. Paul I'd never be to work on time cause I'd be playing on the stairs!!
