13 amazing shots of the unforgettable Stockholm metro

In the bowels of the Swedish capital - Stockholm - are hidden tangled networks of underground metro lines, unofficially called the world's longest art gallery.

The Stockholm Metro was opened in 1950, and its length is 110 kilometers. 150 artists worked on the creation of its unique design.

It seems unbelievable, but underground stations here are decorated with all kinds of statues, beautiful paintings and installations. When you find yourself on some of them, it seems like you are getting into a world of surrealism and fantastic stories.

The metro has 3 branches: blue, red and green, as well as 47 underground and 53 ground or above ground stations.

This station is called Solna Centrum and is located on a blue branch.

At a time when the Stockholm Metro was starting up, traffic in the country was left-sided, so underground trains still continue to travel on the left side.

Kungsträdgarden station, which means "Royal Garden" in Swedish, is located on the green line.

The Stockholm metro is famous worldwide for its designer refinements. Each line is known for its special design. Here you can find yourself in the middle of fabulous grottoes or Greek sculptures, fountains or streams, look into the corner of classical architecture, enjoy the stunning video installation or unusual pop art.

Often, art exhibitions are held right at the metro stations. Hundreds of artists are happy to provide their work to the subway.
