The Double Helix Staircase

Copper double spiral staircase by the Danish architecture firm CEBRA, installed in their new wing of the Experimentarium science museum in Copenhagen. This addition has been nominated for several of this year's big architecture awards.



Extremely impressive. Of course it's copper, so it will tarnish; did they maybe also design a robotic system to clean the thing?

I would be very surprised if the copper wasn't sealed using a clear varnish of some kind, which will prevent tarnishing.
