Tunnelbana Underground Arts
.jpg)
For many of us riding the subway train means the dullness that we have to endure on our daily routine living in the urban jungle, they are relatively cheap and efficient but almost invariably boring and monotonous. Certainly some metro systems in major big cities decorated their trains and stations with artworks to liven things up, the sweet people of Stockholm did it too, radically.
The Stockholm Metro or known as the Tunnelbana (or T-bana) is said to be the longest art gallery in the world. First opened in 1950, it has 100+Km track length and consists of 100 stations above and underground which today also serves as an art museum displaying a myriad of artworks that generously entertains the commuters. A little cold up there in Sweden but just look at these pictures, their metro system is magic.
