History
Opened19 February 1978

The task of decorating the walls was assigned to Gunnar Torvund in 1976 with a series of 14 rectangular concrete reliefs, aimed at giving the station a mild and soothing appearance. In 1990 a school class was given the job of painting the station with several graffiti-like and very bright images, much to the astonishment of Torvund as well as other artists and art historians who considered the new colors to be public vandalism. In 1999, the subway company relented, restoring much of the plain gray color.[3]
