Blue Hall

The hall was originally supposed to have been plastered and painted blue, a colour scheme that would have resembled the water of the bay.

But Östberg changed his mind during the construction of the hall after he saw the red brick.

[7] Towards the end of the 1960s, the organ was rebuilt and the instrument underwent maintenance at various times afterwards, but by 2007 it was decided that the instrument needed a major overhaul and from 2007 to 2008 the pipe organ was completely renovated by the firm Harrison & Harrison in England.

[11] On his day each year the S:t Eriksmedaljen (St. Erik's Medal) is handed out to awardees at the Blue Hall.

[12] The Blue Hall is also used for state visits, student balls, jubilees, and other large events.
