Could you play a nocturne on a drainpipe flute? Oh, if only Vladimir Mayakovsky knew that there is such a house in Dresden that is capable of this task! This amazing house with a blue facade is known as Kunsthofpassage Funnel Wall … Its authors are the German artists Christoph Rosner, Annette Paul and Andre Tempel, to whom - attention! - inspired by the unusual structure of the drainpipes of our St. Petersburg. Dresden has always been known as one of the most beautiful cities with numerous museums attracting the attention of tourists throughout Europe. But with the advent of an amazing building with a "downpipe flute", there is one more tourist attraction in the city. Is this not a reason to put aside all the hackneyed routes and enjoy the sight and sound of the fantastic construction?
The intricate weaving of gutters, which are made in the form of wind musical instruments, is interesting in itself and attracts attention. I bet the Kunsthofpassage Funnel Wall would have remained in popular favor with the locals, even if these pipes were all decorative. But since they also fulfill the useful function for which they are intended, the work of German artists is doubly deserving of all praise.
Being located not in the historical part of Dresden, but in the New Town district, this amazing house of the Kunsthofpassage Funnel Wall has not become a place of pilgrimage for curious tourists - they prefer to look at gloomy old temples, castles and monuments. But gradually young people, especially traveling students, find this place and more and more often come to the city exactly when the forecasts promise gloomy, cloudy weather. After all, otherwise you will not hear exactly how and what exactly the rain-musician is playing on the flute of the drainpipes …
