The House of Culture

The House of Culture is a cultural center at Sergels torg designed by architect Peter Celsing with a striking glass and concrete facade. The building spans multiple floors with restaurants, exhibition rooms, conference halls, concert venues, a cinema, and a library filled with natural light.

The building served as the seat of the Swedish Parliament from 1971 to 1983 before becoming a permanent cultural institution. This shift allowed a significant public space to transform into a place for artistic and community activities.

The building presents exhibitions, concerts, films, and literary discussions that reflect the city's artistic life. Visitors find spaces for creative meetings and public conversations that keep the center active.

The center is easy to reach by public transport and sits centrally at Sergels torg. Visitors can move between different activities like dining, viewing exhibitions, or attending events during their visit.

The TioTretton section offers a dedicated space where children can explore and join activities independently without constant parental supervision. This reflects an uncommon approach that gives young visitors freedom while providing professional care.
