With more than 40 public libraries, the largest culture school in Europe and a culture festival that attracts close to a million visitors, the city is filled with art and stories where culture continues to both enrich and unify. Here you also find The Stockholm City Museum, The Medieval Museum and the Stockholmers’ own art gallery, Liljevalchs. Culture shapes society just as much as it reflects it. Stockholm strives to offer everyone a cultural scene that is important and of good quality, a forum where people can discover new places, meet new people, create and partake in many different cultural expressions. By supporting the independent cultural scene, artists and craftspeople, The Culture Administration has the important task of promoting and deve lo ping the cultural life of the whole city, a city that is constantly changing.
