Art and architecture in the Metro


Small version of bronze sculpture

Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd 1998.
Åkeshov, Green line.


Stockholm’s Metro is said to be the longest art exhibition in the world - 110 km long.
It is an exciting story stretching from the art pioneers of the 1950s to modern artistic experiments.

In some 90 of the 100 Metro stations, passengers can enjoy an exciting, beautiful and varied art experience in the form of sculptures, mosaics, paintings, installations, inscriptions, and reliefs.
Around 140 artists have helped to create this art along the Metro lines. An additional few hundred artists have added temporary art features.

Smart art.

See the worlds largest perler beads ("pärlplatta") in Fryshuset.

The students at Fryshuset high school has built the largest perler bead painting in the world. About 80 students beaded for 4,5 hours to finish 170 plates= 153000 beads.

The painting is 2,50x 3,40 m large and was finishied in november 2008. And has a total of 316.800 beads.



The perler bead is beads that you place on a plastic plate to create a pattern that reminds of mosaik. When finishied you iron with a paper in between to make the beads fuse together.

The perler bead was invented by Gunnar Knutsson in Vällingby, Stockholm in the beginning of the1960's. It was meant in first hand to be in use as therapy material for elderly at senior care. Soon the bead became popular at kindergardens and has in the last years become a more common material amongst artists.

Here are a display of some of my own perler bead creations!

Stroll on Södermalm

A beautiful fall afternoon like this is destined to be enjoyed in the nature. A great way to relax, reload and to find peace and strenght is to go for a walk.

I recommend to go along the beach side at Årstaviken at Södermalm. The water is not for bading anymore but most definitely can you hang out with the amazing swans and ducks.
