About this audio guide
This guide to Kunst im Tunnel in Düsseldorf goes back to the early nineteen nineties, when the city pushed its riverside road underground and an engineer named Erich Waaser looked at a spare concrete cavern nobody needed. It follows the theatre troupe, musicians and artists who moved in before the cars did. Best heard on the long stairway down from the café, with the curved walls around you.
