Design Boom has a huge gallery of the most beautiful works of subway station and tunnel architecture across the world. Pictured above is the Solna Centrum metro station in Stockholm, which opened in 1975. Shades of red dominate the artwork of the station, which depicts the social concerns of 1970s Sweden.

These are great, and put Toronto to shame with our single station. I would have to say that there are other functional design flaws such as parts which have had flooding issues due to heavy rains that would be nice if fixed before aesthetic improvements, but still.
