Kulturhuset Stadsteatern

Kulturhuset Stadsteatern is one of Northern Europe's largest cultural institutions. The activities include music, libraries, theatre, debates, art exhibitions, film and dance.

Located right in Stockholm's political and commercial centre, the house offers a public space for all people in Stockholm. The vision of the architect Peter Celsing was to create a space that could accommodate all art forms. “I am building for a new human being that has to come” was both a pleading and a pledge of the renowned architect who won the architectural competition for a new cultural centre in 1966. The glass front of the building facing Sergels torg enhances the idea of a shared common space, and at night create a transparent view into the interior.
