- The Stockholm City Hall is one of Sweden's most fascinating buildings. The Golden Hall, the Blue Hall and the Prince's Gallery are glorious names - and the same word can be used to describe the many rooms in this fantastic building. It is no surprise that the City Hall is one of Sweden's most popular tourist attractions.
The exquisite decorations and elegant furnishings were designed by the leading architects, artists and artisans of the time, and they are described in detail with both text and pictures. The book also describes the function of the City Hall as a workplace and as a reception hall - with the Nobel Prize banquet as the high point of each year.
In addition to describing how the City Hall came about in the early years of the 20th century, the author also delves into the fascinating history of the city of Stockholm. In this way, the book is both a guide to the City Hall and a portrayal of Sweden's capital from unexpected perspectives.
