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