Sweden, well known for its Nordic designs, turned their subway stations into a piece of art. Total length of 110km, connecting 100 subway stations, a total of 150 artists collaborated this work to provide a theme for each station. Now, passengers can feel the Swedish culture and art simultaneously with a cheap ride. It is no wonder that the Stockholm Subway System is called the world’s longest art exhibit.

以北歐設計馳名的瑞典，將它們的地鐵站變成了一件藝術品。全長110公里的地鐵，由100個站連接，一共150個藝術家合作，將為每一站都設計了主體。現在，乘客們可以通過廉價的地鐵票來感受瑞典文化藝術。難怪大家說斯德哥爾摩地鐵系統是世界上長度最長的藝術展覽。

One of the busiest stations in Taiwan, Formosa Boulevard Station is known for the largest round-shaped station in the world. The station features ‘Dome of Light’ at the upper part of the station, known as the biggest public installation in the world. This 30-meter diameter artwork features colorful stained glass from Germany, adding colors and beauty to the otherwise dull station. Various themes are delineated on the artwork, ranging from the story of human life to basic elements such as light, fire and water. However, the main theme converges to love and tolerance.

世界上最大的圓形地鐵站，高雄的美麗島站，是台灣最繁忙的一站。地鐵站里最大的特色是發光的穹頂，這是世界上最大的公共設施。這片直徑30米的藝術品，材質是來自德國的彩繪玻璃，讓空蕩的車站有了豐富的色彩。穹頂上描繪了各種主題，從人類生活到光水火等基本元素。最主要的主題是愛與寬容。
