  • have a look at these magnificent photos (from The Daily Mail) of Stockholm's Subway system, transformed into a "gigantic kaleidoscope art exhibition" - the work of 150 artists, let loose over the last 55 years and then there's more.....



The subway system in Stockholm is widely regarded as the longest art exhibition in the world, measuring 110 kilometres
