Home to the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra since its inauguration in 1926, Konserthuset Stockholm is one of the capital’s most famous structures in the neo-classical style. The leading artists of the era were commissioned to conceive the new concert hall in a timeless style, harnessing motifs from two different worlds: classical Greece and the history of music. Enjoy the art and architecture of the venue at close quarters with your own guide.
