My subway station - Thorildsplan

During my absence they decided to redecorate my subway station, Thorildsplan, in Stockholm. Before, the walls used to feature quotations from the exiled Swedish 18th century poet, Thorild, who named the place. A lot of streets and places in this area are named after Swedish poets like Lidner, Runius, Fröding, Stagnelius, Almqvist and many more.

Now, it has become an arcade game from the 1980's... I can not say I do not like it, it is a little cute. The architecture of the station with its stairs and different levels is very suitable for it. It is definately a big change in theme from before.
