Universitetet, ("The University"), is a Metro station in the Frescati area, close to Stockholm University (Stockholms universitet), and the Museum of Natural History. It was opened on 12 January 1975.
The art on the station consists of tiles featuring Carl von Linné and the UN Declaration of Universal Human Rights. This artwork is by belgian and parisian artist Françoise Schein.
The station includes 12 large tiles panels all dedicated to the travels of Linné around the Baltic. The artist Françoise Schein used his travels as the starting point to develop the theme of nature and the ecological problems we are all living now in the world. The work was created in Lisbon on azulejos tiles, then brought to Stockholm. It represents in its conception and its production a real european work of art.
