About this audio guide
This guide to the State Parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia in Düsseldorf sets the state's lawmakers beside the riverside lawn they look out on, and the one spring Saturday when Japan Day pours cosplayers, a samurai camp and street footballers onto it. It follows the festival's fireworks, including a show that waited years for its moment, and the architects who drew the parliament in circles. Best heard on the lawn facing the Rhine.
