Gold Mosaic with Runes by Nisse Zetterberg

Title: Gold Mosaic with Runes by Nisse Zetterberg
Submitted by: xblackbirdx2020
Description: Nisse Zetterberg's artistic design is based on the archaeological finds from the Viking Age that have been discovered in the area. These small finds have been enlarged into golden mosaics set on the rust-red rock walls. At Rinkeby metro station in Stockholm, passengers descend into a rust-red cave lined with gleaming gold mosaics depicting Viking Age artefacts excavated from the surrounding area. Nisse Zetterberg designed and executed these mosaics together with two colleagues, and they were inaugurated in 1975.
