Greta Garbo

This bronze sculpture at Greta Garbos torg shows the profile and facial features of the celebrated Swedish actress. The figure occupies a central position in the square, framed by the surrounding architecture of Södermalm.

Swedish artist Thomas Qvarsebo created this public memorial to Greta Garbo, unveiled on September 18, 2005 in Stockholm. The sculpture was made as a tribute to one of cinema's most influential early actresses.

The sculpture represents a physical connection between modern Stockholm and the legacy of Greta Garbo, a leading figure in early cinema.

You can reach the sculpture by taking the metro to Skanstull station and walking north through Södermalm for about 5 minutes. The square is easily accessible and sits in an active neighborhood with cafes and shops nearby.

The sculpture features intentionally angled surfaces that reveal different aspects of Garbo's face depending on your viewing angle. As you walk around the figure, distinct expressions and perspectives of the actress emerge.
