Sweden Rådhuset Metro, Stockholm
This station is called "Rådhuset" and is located on the blue line of Stockholm's metro system. It was planned by architect Michael Granit and designed by the artist Sigvard Olsson. The station opened in 1975.
Stockholm’s metro is the world’s longest art exhibition because nearly all of its 100 stations are designed by artists. So buying a ticket for public transport is like buying a ticket for a museum.

Photography Tips
You should avoid the peak hours and visit this station at night.
Tripods are officially not allowed, so clarify that beforehand with the operator (SL). Using a tripod, you should take multiple exposures for maximum dynamic range (bracketing).
While there will generally be less traffic in the metro stations at night, I found that most stations in Stockholm empty quickly after each train leaves. I purchased day passes to visit each station and traveled during “peak” hours. They were all virtually empty a minute or two after the train left the station. This made it relatively easy to photograph without crowds.
