Stockholm Metro Stations

When you're waiting for the subway at any Stockholm metro station, take a look around — you’re in one of the world’s largest and most awe-inspiring museums. With just a Stockholm metro ticket, you can admire art such as sculptures, murals, oil paintings, installations, inscriptions, and reliefs in most stations.

The Stockholm metro network spans an astonishing 110 kilometers and features works by hundreds of artists. They may not all be to your taste, but you’ll surely appreciate the effort these artists put into engaging your senses — and you’ll be amazed by the dedication behind these creations. For years, Stockholm authorities have sought to bring art into people’s lives, and this vision came to life at T-Centralen metro station when the Stockholm metro opened in the 1950s. Today, you can still enjoy this art on the station’s tiled walls and reliefs.

Thanks to their grand scale, diversity, and seamless integration with the metro environment, the artworks in Stockholm’s 100 stations are truly breathtaking. One example is Solna Centrum Station, where the cave-like, bright red ceiling seems to press down toward the platform, creating a sense of “oppression,” while the walls feature a 1,000-meter-long depiction of a spruce forest. A trip to the Stockholm metro stations is definitely a worthwhile and unforgettable experience.
