Collection of ephemera related to the Stockholm Metro. Items include:

"The Järva Line: Artists at Work." 1977 Swedish pamphlet describing how artists were employed to transform each station along the Järva Line (now operated as two separate branches of the Blue Line), with behind-the-scenes photos. The text is paraphrased from conversations with each artist. An English translation is included on a separate, smaller pamphlet, but without the accompanying photos. Swedish pamphlet is clean and unmarked. English pamphlet has a smudge mark and the previous owner's address stamp on the front cover (neither affecting legibility), but the inside is clean and unmarked.

"Kungsträdgården Subway Station." English description of the layout of of Kungsträdgården station on the Blue Line. This was likely produced on the occasion of the station's opening in 1977. Paper is slightly creased, but otherwise clean and unmarked.

"Underground Movement." English magazine article about the art on the metro with photographs by Jan Fridlund. Four loose pages taken from an unknown magazine, circa 1976. Pages are slightly creased, but otherwise clean and unmarked.

"Report from Stockholm." Photocopy of an article from Progressive Architecture about the design and construction of the metro's underground "grotto" stations. Paper is lightly tanned, but text is bright and legible.

Color contact print of the dodecahedron hanging from the ceiling at Tekniska Högskolan station on the Red Line.

Signed card "with the compliments of the Swedish Information Service."
