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.
