The Fun Theory
Swedish designers get commuters off the escalator by making the stairs more fun. It’s awesome. And, yet, part of me wonders how creepy this would be if you were descending into the subway alone late at night. Plink…plink….plink… [via Boing Boing]

The Science Museum in Boston has a musical staircase. Somewhat different than this – no keyboard motif – but it is a lot of fun.

Museum of Science here in Boston has had the piano staircase for over 15 years now… those swedes are so behind the times.
And what exactly is “creepy” about a piano??
Daniel says:
Very, very cool I think it will never come to the USA, though. People would find it “annoying.”

I love this! The Science Museum of Minnesota in St. Paul, where I grew up, also had a musical staircase. They built a new one maybe 10 years ago, and I don’t know if they still have it or not. But I loved it when I was a kid. But, like the one in Boston, it didn’t have the keyboard pattern either.
