The famous piano located in the heart of Dublin's busy Heuston station has seen an artistic update.
The new design by Sarah Edmondson is a celebration of multi-culturalism in contemporary Irish society and has seen the musical instrument change completely. The instrument is now mainly black and white.
The slogan "Music Can Take You Anywhere" remains on the piano despite the changes, which is primarily made up of different hands and feet throughout the design. Irish Rail have said the design also celebrates the opening up of spaces following the pandemic.
