Stockholm Metro art

For the price of a Stockholm Metro ticket you can see sculptures, mosaics, paintings, art installations, inscriptions and reliefs from the 1950s through to the 2000s at most Stockholm Metro stations.

At Stockholm's Central Metro Station ('T-Centralen', or 'Centralen' for short), check out the 1950s tiling and reliefs on the walls. At the exit of Kungsträdgården station (blue line) and the street Arsenalsgatan, you’ll see an archaeological dig consisting of ancient columns and details.

Solna Centrum station (blue line) stands out for its cavernous, bright red ceiling that seems to 'weigh down' on the platform. Meanwhile the walls of the station depict a spruce forest that is one kilometre long.

Highlights on the blue line

Stockholm Metro is sais to be thethe world's longest art exhibiton. If you're short of time, buy a SL ticket (valid for 1 hour and 15 minutes) at T-Centralen and take the blue line to see the art at Rådhuset and Fridhemsplan stations.

As well as being a brilliant art exhibition, the Stockholm Metro is a great way of getting around Stockholm and its suburbs.
