Sculpture in Maribor

A new sculpture is being erected in Maribor. It was delivered by a series of large trucks who had to back in between street stalls on market day.

It is next to the large bald statue commemorating the second world war that locals call Kojak.

The inside is lined with white plastic, it has a door and tonight I discovered its function: it is a music venue. As I walked along to the final concert I discovered a crowd of people lined up outside and I could see a disco set up inside. Walking back from the concert the duff-duff music strangely complemented Beethoven's 9th we had just heard. I wonder if it is a permanent feature.
