Kungsträdgården T-Bana station is unlike any other train station that I have ever seen, inasmuch that it is essentially a large underground museum/art gallery.
The feel of the station is quite dramatic. There are cave-like accesses between platforms which are painted deep green (in one of them there is even a statue of a caveman complete with club). The floors are covered in red, green and white tiles. and near the Arsenalsgatan exit there are vibrantly coloured patchwork ceiling paintings. However, the most striking element of the design are the relics salvaged from buildings that were demolished in the city centre during the 1950's and 60's.
If you are ever in Stockholm, it is definitely worth taking time out to look around the T-Bana stations as you will be pleasantly surprised.
