Many Liverpudlians are still shell–shocked that it actually exists in a city that otherwise produced Scouse House, which may explain the huge visitor numbers of disbelieving locals confronted by the choicest of modern art in such beautifully grounded waterfront surroundings. Then again, maybe they're just alarmed by the pair of pegs towering over the city.
