Stockholm seems like a city worth visiting to me, but the city's newest art installation has me sold: video game subway station art. The Stockholm Metro is already regularly referred to as 'the world's largest art exhibition' (or 'the longest), so I shouldn't be surprised that this artsy city would add retro 8-bit video game pixel tiles to its artistic subway system.
