Draken, Movie theater and music venue in Kungsholmen, Stockholm, Sweden.
The neon sign adorning Draken's exterior, designed by Ragnar Person and built by Ruben Morne, became a recognizable symbol in Swedish entertainment history.
Ernst Grönwall designed this entertainment venue in 1938, creating a space that initially functioned as one of Stockholm's largest cinemas with 1,125 seats.
During the 1980s, Draken transformed into a primary concert location, hosting performances by international artists including Tom Waits, Def Leppard, and Ozzy Osbourne.
The building ceased operations as an entertainment venue in 1996 and underwent conversion into a self-storage facility in 2010, marking the end of its cultural period.
Draken demonstrated versatility by successfully operating as both a major cinema and concert hall, establishing itself as a central figure in Stockholm's entertainment landscape.
