Subway Art: Stockholm’s underground museum

By , November 9, 2011 1:51 pm

As many of you know, I am a BIG fan of mass transit,  so when I got to see the fabulous Stockholm Subway system I was in awe! Amazing art, prehistoric bed rock walls, 21st century technology all co-existing beneath this beautiful city!

It has been called the longest Art museum in the world with 110 km (approx. 68 miles) of lines!

The bedrock walls have been left exposed in many areas which provides an intriguing juxtaposition to the man made materials and technology. I love how art has been incorporated! It’s everywhere!

    This is incredible. Unlike many of the airports here that do the disciplined assemblage of architectural decoration, this is true art. What a great potpourri for all the senses.

    Hi Candace!

    I just found your blog while searching for cool tiny homes to show on my own blog about compact living. I was thrilled to see all your interesting post and will definitely recommend the blog to my readers. I was also delighted to find this post about the Stockholm subway, since I live in the city myself. You make me proud of my home tomn. Or should I say more proud?!;) Thanks for all the inspiration.

    Best wishes, Maria
