Östermalmstorg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Östermalmstorg is a square in the upper-class district of Östermalm, Stockholm. It is known for its food market hall, Östermalmshallen, opened in 1889. Östermalmstorg was also the location of the first Åhléns department store, opened in 1932.

By the square stands a controversial statue, showing a man and a woman about to have sex, made by the artist Willy Gordon.

[edit] Subway Station

The underground Metro station Östermalmstorg was opened in 1965 and is one stop from T-Centralen. The station has two main exits, one by Östermalmstorg and one by Stureplan. The major artwork of the subway station was made by Siri Derkert and symbolises the women’s rights, world peace, and the green movement.
