The largest organization of its kind in all of Sweden is the Kulturhuset, Sergels Torg 3 (tel. 08/508-31-400). It was built in 1974 by the city of Stockholm as a showcase for Swedish and international art and theater. There are no permanent exhibits; instead, the various spaces inside are allocated to a changing array of paintings, sculpture, photographs, and live performance groups. Kulturhuset also serves as the focal point for information about other cultural activities and organizations throughout Sweden and the rest of Europe. Inside are a snack bar, a library (which has newspapers in several languages), a reading room, a collection of recordings, and a somewhat bureaucratic openness to new art forms. Admission is 50SEK ($6.50) for adults. Those 18 and under are admitted free. Open Tuesday to Friday 11am to 7pm, Saturday and Sunday 11am to 5pm.
