Stockholm - Sergels Torg House of Culture

(Local Name: Kulturhuset) At the west end of Hamngatanin Stockholm, in the center of the district known as the City, is Sergels Torg, with a modern fountain and a glass column almost 40m/130ft high (by E. Öhrenström, 1974). On the south side of the square is the House of Culture (Kulturhuset; by Peter Celsing, 1974), with a glass frontage which gives it a cheerful and attractive aspect. It contains exhibition rooms, restaurants (with view of Sergels Torg), a library and reading rooms and the Municipal Theater (Stadsteatern).
