Sublime design and architecture aren’t exactly what you think about when metro stations come to mind. But dark, drippy and dingy isn’t what any of these underground spots are. Instead, they’re works of art. Here are the most magnificent.
Radhuset Station, Stockholm
This station almost challenges the boundaries of reality and the relationship between life and art. Whether you think it looks like fire or the steamy gate to hell, would you say this sci-fi art is a metaphor for a daily commute at rush hour?
Kievskaya, Mayakovskaya and Komsomolskaya Stations, Moscow
We couldn’t choose just one station in Moscow because all the metros here are phenomenal and look more like a luxurious ballroom or royal palace than a means of transportation. Well, they are good at making this extravagantly over the top!
Toledo Metro Station, Naples
This place is a work of art that looks like a galaxy out of our wildest fantasies. Created by a diverse group of architects, designers and artists, this stunning blue-purple mosaic is the color of serenity, taking the chaos out of a daily commute.
Arts et Métiers Metro, Paris
This copper-topped metro station was designed by Belgian comics artist François Schuitenin in steampunk style in 1994. The polished, brass tinted walls with portholes, wooden seats and cogs give the aesthetic of a submarine, transporting you from the subway to a magical sea-craft.
