You're standing at the Museum of World Culture in Gothenburg, on Södra vägen, just by Korsvägen. Right next door is the Universeum science centre, and a little further up the slope the Liseberg amusement park begins. Now take a good look at the building itself. Concrete and glass, sleek and compact. See how the upper floors float above the footpath? They hang about five metres in the air with nothing underneath. Go ahead and walk beneath them.
