Endless Staircase

Hidden within an office building in Munich, a staircase seemingly leads you up… to nowhere. “Endless Staircase” is in fact not a staircase at all, but an ominous sculpture by Danish artist Olafur Eliasson. The sculpture, which is made of steel and is over 30 feet tall, is a staircase in the shape of a double helix. The bottom of the steps has a small opening, so you can actually climb the stairs yourself. It’s not easy to know exactly what Danish artist Olafur Eliasson had in mind when he created his towering sculpture in 2004. Life isn’t a destination but rather a continuous movement.
