Hanover's design stops

For more than a quarter of a century, Hanover has been taking waiting to a whole new level:

Since 10 April 1994, the "Busstops" have adorned the city with a unique collection of bus stops created by renowned designers such as Gehry, Sottsass and Morrison as part of an art project. In this way, the actually everyday bus shelters were transformed into true works of art.
