Viveca Steen might be the queen of Swedish crime literature, but the lighthouse on the small island of Grönskär is the queen of the archipelago. The 26-meter-tall building (just over 86 feet) – named Östersjöns Drottning, literally “Queen of the Baltic sea” – has helped seafarers navigate through the eastern inlet of the archipelago since 1770. To visit Grönskär you can rent a taxi boat from Sandhamn on Sandön as there are no regular ferry lines to the island.

The largest island, Storön, has one of the archipelago’s few lighthouses that is manned all year. It also houses a weather station and a handful of residents. The locals are friendly and will happily give you a tour of the islands. Svenska Högarna is a popular pit-stop for migrating birds and during winter time you can spot grey seals and long-tailed ducks in the surrounding waters.

The old station opened in 1958 and was the terminus for the green line no. 17 until 1994 when the subway was extended to Skarpnäck to the south. To accommodate the underground extension, the old Bagarmossen station had to be taken out of use, and a new one was built underground. And with the new station came new beautiful art; Gert Marcus screen painted glass-plates adorning the walls.
"The art doesn’t represent anything particularly", says art guide Marie Andersson. "But it is typical of Marcus’s oeuvre to work with color denominations in almost seamless transitions".

Hanging down from the ceiling of Odenplan’s western entrance hallway, “Life Line” is one of Citybanan's most eye-catching pieces. The piece by David Svensson consists of jagged white lines of fluorescent light, shining brightly in the tunnels. Obviously, the 400 meters of LED-lighting serves a practical purpose, but they’re also of a personal nature explains art guide, Marie Andersson:
"The shape of the lights was inspired by the heartbeats of the artist’s son, as shown on the CTG-monitor during the childbirth".

With Hallonbergen's relatively young age in mind, it’s probably no coincidence that the artists Elis Eriksson and Gösta Wallmark were inspired by their own childhoods when decorating the subway station. Looking at the artwork can best be described as peeking into the vivid imagination of a child, with colorful drawings of fantastical beasts and imaginative contraptions.
"Eriksson and Wallmark actually used their childhood drawings and drawings made by their own children", says art guide Marie Andersson. "The station’s name itself [Hallonbergen literally means “Raspberry Mountains”] sounds almost like something plucked from a fairytale".

"},"mass_info":[]},{"id":1388,"title":"Hötorget subway station","type":"ObjectPage","label":"Attraction","text":"In 1952, Hötorget was built as the southern terminus of Stockholm’s second subway line, going northwest to the then newly built suburb of Vällingby.
As with all below-surface stations from the early 1950s (other examples being Slussen, Medborgarplatsen, Skanstull, Odenplan, and Rådmansgatan), Hötorget’s walls are covered in square bathroom tiles, and when it opened up for traffic, that was pretty much it.
In fact, none of the early metro stations had any public art at the time of their opening. Stockholm’s politicians were simply put indifferent to the idea of stations being anything else than functional pit-stops. They were content with having billboard ads on the walls. It wasn’t until after a decade’s worth of discussions, debates, and op-eds by the Swedish art community that art got its place in the subway. The artists pointed to Sweden’s long history of public art displays as their most important argument, explains art guide Marie Andersson.
"Public art is considered to be democratic art because it gives everyone the opportunity to experience good quality art in their everyday lives. And not only people who can afford to buy art or visit galleries and museums".
And when T-Centralen and Gamla Stan were being planned – two new stations that would connect the southern and northern lines to one single stretch of subway tracks – a contest was organized to determine the artwork.
Since then, public art has become an integral part of Stockholm’s subway. Over time all the early stations have been either redecorated or had artworks installed. And in 1998, Gun Gordillo's bright neon-lights were installed in the ceiling of Hötorget. By that time the original interior had become classic and was left virtually untouched. The tile work, platform signs, benches – even wastebaskets – were preserved to keep the 50’s atmosphere.

"},"mass_info":[]},{"id":1389,"title":"Kungsträdgården subway station","type":"ObjectPage","label":"Attraction","text":"One of Stockholm’s most stunning stations is unsurprisingly also one of its most photographed: Kungsträdgården. Located in the middle of downtown Stockholm, it’s the terminus of the blue line, or at least until its southward extension opens in 2025.
Kungsträdgården is one of Stockholm’s oldest public parks. The name, roughly meaning “The King’s Garden”, is derived from the area’s royal history. Between 1643 and 1825 it was the site of the majestic Makalös Palace, and a beautiful French garden. After Makalös burned down, the site was used for military exercises. Finally, in 1875, the park landed in the care of the Stockholm City Council, which in turn opened it for the public.
"Almost everything on the station tells the story of the site above ground", says Marie Andersson, subway art guide. "The color scheme – red, white and green – is a reference to the old French formal garden and statues around the station are actually replicas of Makalös Palace’s exterior art".
Another unique feature of Kungsträdgården is its fauna. The station is the only place in Northern Europe where the cave-dwelling Lessertia dentichelis-spider can be found. Presumably, the species hitched a ride on equipment and machines traveling from Southern Europe when the station was being built.
"Nobody knows exactly how they ended up here", continues Marie Andersson. "But they seem to be thriving. I saw one just yesterday, as a matter of fact. In 2016 scientists also discovered a previously unknown fungus on the station walls with a unique DNA-structure".

Except for the colorful tilework embedded in the bedrock, the color scheme is light and almost subdued. But as art guide Marie Andersson explains it, the color is actually an optical illusion.
"The walls actually change color depending on where you stand on the platform. From one end the room appears white with a light shade of pink, and from the other white and grayish-green".
The effect was achieved by first lighting the wall and painting its shadows from one side, and then from the other. The artists, Gösta Wessel and Karin Ek wanted to emphasize the changing landscape on a journey, not only on the platform itself but more importantly from your starting point to your destination.

The station, completed in 1965, lies in the heart of the city’s poshest and most expensive boroughs; Östermalm.
Although the station displays several works of art by different artists, the centerpiece is Siri Derkert’s sketches adorning the station walls. The pictures blasted into pitch-black rock walls covered in white concrete, are both playful and personal. Derkert was 77 years old when the station opened and the station’s art was in a sense a summary of her extraordinary body of work.
"The central themes in her art are all represented on the walls", says art guide Marie Andersson. "When walking around the station you will see the word “peace” written in different languages, you will see portraits of people that had been working for the environment and with women’s rights issues".
Derkert’s involvement in the women’s rights movement is evident in the historical figures depicted on the walls. Many are women from the Fogelstad group, a women’s art collective which Derkert was a member of.

The bright green and red landscape - the green being the forest and the red an evening sun setting behind the treetops - is both timeless in its beauty, but also something that few other stations artwork is; political.
After completing the walls artists Karl-Olov Björk and Anders Åberg felt they were lacking. So they continued adding various details and scenes to the forest.
"Originally the walls were supposed to be only green and red", explains art guide Marie Andersson. "So the rest of the paintings were pretty much improvised. This resulted in pictures that illustrated some of the most debated societal topics in 70’s era Sweden; the environment, deforestation, and the depopulation of rural areas".
