Stockholm Metro: World’s Longest Art Exhibit

Tekniska Högskolan Station

Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan, the Royal Institute of Technology, was founded in 1827 and got its metro station in 1973. The station’s decor, created by Lennart Mörk, celebrates scientific advances, technology, the laws of nature, etc. The station is full of quotations from famous events in science history and representation of scientific and mathematical formulas/equations etc. The most famous piece is probably the five regular polyhedra which represents Plato’s five elements.

Stadion Station

Stadion, with its vivid colors and rainbow, is one of the first cave stations in Stockholm and was built in 1973. The station gets its name after Stockholm’s Olympic Stadium. Artists Åke Pallarp and Enno Hallek wanted to remind passengers of the importance of the Stadium’s significance in sports history as the 1912 Olympics were held there. It still regularly hosts sports events and concerts.
