About the exhibition
When: February 11—September 24 2023
Where: Floor 0
Free admission
Stockholm City Hall was built during a time of transition. It was a period when Stockholm was transitioning from a dirty, industrial city to a modern metropolis.
The City Hall was just one of many large construction projects that got underway before WWI. At the time though, in terms of area, Stockholm was still a rather small city. What was then considered the outskirts is what we today regard as the inner city.
In the exhibition you can compare the places as they looked then, with brand new photos. Would you be able to recognize the places today?
This exhibition is a supplement to the exhibition, “We who built the City Hall”, to show other parts of Stockholm’s inner city during the construction period of 1911—1923.
