If you are in Stockholm and decide to use public transport to get around, go underground. The metro is said to be the world’s longest art exhibition, a rough 110 kilometres. Of the 100 metro stations 90 are decorated with some form of art. My favourites are Hallonbergen, Solna centre and Thorildsplan, but there are many, many more. If you ask me, all cities with underground transport should implement this. Art is food for the soul.

Which was first the art or the name of the Station? Näckrosen, means water lilies.
