Weimar, Germany - A boxy type of plastic cabin which is a familiar sight in cities of eastern Europe underwent a fresh transformation in Germany Wednesday, opening as a mini-art-gallery in the city of Weimar.

The project marks the 40th birthday of the K67, a glass-fibre kiosk which houses news-stands, parking attendants, chip friers and lottery sellers in many cities. The coloured modules can even be bolted together into larger pavilions.

The return of the K67 to Weimar, in the formerly communist part of Germany, also highlights the run-up to Documenta 12, a huge art event to be held in Germany this summer.
