Usually, the metro is not the most attractive place. However, for someone who will be in the Swedish capital Stockholm for the first time, a trip to the local subway will be a pleasant surprise. It’s the largest art museum in the world, consisting of many tunnels, stations and escalators. Under the ground, passengers and visitors can enjoy mosaic-tiled walls and ceilings, whimsical art installations and colorful frescoes on the walls, which certainly turn the waiting of the train into an exciting event.

There are many creative communities in South Africa, and the people of Ndebele are no exception. They decorate the facades of their houses and outbuildings with traditional bright patterns of lines. All drawings are made by hand. If you look closely, you can see that the lines are perfectly even, which shows amazing skill.

Wandering the streets of Pakistan, you will certainly pay attention to the colorful trucks that are on the road most. The decoration of trucks is a long tradition of the country, which was born from the sentimental desire of truckers to remember the house, and now is a big phenomenon in art and an important part of culture.
