March 12, 2007: Stockholm Metro

[Undertoad]

It's Neatorama collaboration Monday!



Thanks Axlrosen - a collection of shots from the Stockholm Metro was dugg (at digg.com) today. Since then, the site has been up and down - so here's a look at a few of the images on it.

I had not seen this before. Clearly far more awesome than any other network of subway stations; we'd all take the train if we could wait in art for it.

Stockholm's metro is well known for its decoration of the stations; it has been called the longest art exhibit in the world. Several of the stations (especially on the Blue line) are left with the bedrock exposed, crude and unfinished, or as part of the decorations.

At the Rissne station, an informative wall fresque about the history of Earth's civilizations runs all along both sides of the platform.

Be sure to visit Neatorama for more neato items all the time.
