Fridhemsplan metro station. From the cycle "Amazing metro stations in Stockholm". You can see more my photos from this cycle by entering "Amazing metro stations in Stockholm" in the search box.
Stockholm’s metro system is truly one of a kind. One hundred stations, each with unique art on its platform, walls or waiting hall. Since 1957 artists have played a key role when new stations have been built. And over time the metro’s older stations – planned and built without any art – have been spruced up with beautiful statues, murals, and installations.
So spending a day in Stockholm’s metro is basically like visiting the world’s longest art exhibition.
One of the less celebrated of Stockholm’s subway stations, Fridhemsplan, has its own charm. Artists Torsten Renqvist and Ingegerd Möller have enhanced this with a variety of exhibits that a reflect of Sweden’s strong environmentalist movement, as well as its connection to the sea, pointing to the ongoing protests at the time from conservationists. The whole station looks like a greyish green cave.
