Art places in Europe

The urban landscape in Copenhagen is filled with art and cool design. It is an old tradition that ending of buildings have been used for painted advertising or murals done by famous and less-famous artists. As old building get replaced by new bright architecture with lots of windows, the big murals are slowing disappearing but there are still quite a few left. So go hunting for wall painting in the streets of Copenhagen.

This piece of contemporary art by Pierre Vivant is a steel tree made out of traffic lights. Nothing too controversial here... except for the fact that it is placed right at an intersection. Well, actually it's a roundabout, but still. The lights' arbitrary cycles are supposed to imitate the restlessness of the financial centre at Canary Wharf, but more than anything confuse first time drivers, who don't know whether to stop or go.
