Kulturhuset

Opened in 1974, Kulturhuset (Swedish for The House of Culture) is a cultural centre to the south of Sergels Torg in central Stockholm. It is a controversial symbol for Stockholm and the growth of modernism in Sweden.

Overview

Kulturhuset hosts many initiatives every year, with dozens of contemporary cultural events, including photo exhibitions, stories for kids, concerts, literary discussions, films, debates. It functions during daytime and nighttime

It was the temporary seat of the Parliament of Sweden (Riksdag) until 1983, while the Riksdag building was remodelled for the unicameral parliament.

Kulturhuset was one of the main inspirations for Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris.

One of my favorite spots to relax. Borrow a book or being your kids to the kid only area. You can also attend concerts and plays. On the top, a nice restaurant with affordable lunch prices and a view

An actual interesting huge culture house with anything for everyone in the heart of Stockholm. Great view from the restaurant on the top, chess tables, galleries, liabary and kids attractions. Great!

My favourite place in the centre of Stockholm- visit the music library to play piano, listen to vinyl, read magazines, sit in the see-through hanging balls and watch Serges torg.

Head to the top - Great rooftop café during the summer months, view of the city centre. The restaurant on the same floor offers lunch of the day for SEK 90. Kulturhuset has something for everyone!

Try "Teaterbaren" at the third floor. At summer I recommend the top floor which has a nice outdoor bar (and it is not too crowded).

What a fantastic and inspiring place. Their library is amazing and perfect to relax after a long day of work - reading a book, a magazine or listen some music.
