Salzburg is a very traditional city. Even though you see a lot of contemporary art in the streets. E.g. the’Gherkins’ created by the Austrian artist Erwin Wurm. I like this piece of public art as the pickles seem to have some personality.
By the way, the monument in the background is dedicated to Friedrich Schiller. I wonder if he has ever thought to write about gherkins?
