Draken-skylten, Neon sign in Kungsholmen, Sweden

The Draken-skylten displays a green dragon with a moving red tongue made entirely of neon tubes mounted on a building facade.

Rudolf Persson designed this neon sign in 1939, marking it as one of Stockholm's earliest animated neon installations still functioning today.

The sign remained a requirement for preservation when the former cinema building transformed into storage spaces in 2010.

Located at coordinates 59.331639, 18.026861, the neon dragon stands visible against the Stockholm skyline during evening hours.

The dragon figure places its right paw on the Swedish Film Industry logo, indicating the previous cinema's ownership connection.

Location: Stockholm Municipality

Inception: 1939

Creator: Rudolf Persson
