The House of Culture (Stockholm)

The House of Culture has been described as a symbol for Stockholm as well as of the growth of modernism in Sweden.

[1] In 1965 the city's government announced an architectural competition won by modernist architect Peter Celsing (1920–1974).

The first stage of the center was opened in 1971[2] (the western part, including the theatre).

Kulturhuset hosts many initiatives every year, with dozens of contemporary cultural events, including photo exhibitions, stories for children, concerts, literary discussions, films, debates.

[3] TioTretton was created by the Swedish architect and scenographer Ricardo Ortiz in collaboration with former library manager of the Kulturhuset Katti Hoflin.
