Stairs seem like just a tool to most people. Their job is to get you from one point to another. But to certain artists that think outside the box, stairs can be a unique canvas on which to create unique and stunning art. In addition, stairs themselves can be a thing of beauty, as they climb mountains, go over bridges, span incredible landscape or built in a magnificent way. Here are some of what I consider the most dazzling staircases the world has to offer. |
