Today we're celebrating 🇸🇪 #Sweden 🇸🇪 😃🎉🥂
A festive arrangement celebrating Sweden's National Day. In the foreground, a pot of vibrant pink, white, and yellow daisies sits on a table with yellow Swedish text overlay that reads "önskar alla en fin nationaldag" (wishing everyone a nice National Day). Behind the flowers, a Swedish flag.

Why June 6th?:

Gustav Vasa:
 On 6 June 1523, Gustav Vasa was elected King of Sweden. This marked the end of the Kalmar Union and the restoration of Sweden as an independent kingdom.

The 1809 Instrument of Government: 
On the same date in 1809, a new and significant constitution was signed, laying the foundations of Sweden’s modern system of government.

From Swedish Flag Day to a Public Holiday: 
For many years, the day was celebrated only as Swedish Flag Day, but it was officially designated Sweden’s National Day in 1983. However, it was not until 2005 that it became an official public holiday.

Stockholm is famous for the "worlds longest art gallery", meaning the underground stations, but also here in Helsinki we have some nice stations. This picture shows part of the mural art at Kontula/Gårdsbacka metro station, created by members of KAS/ Kontula Art School. #Art #Helsinki #Kontula
Panoramic wall mural at Kontula Metro Station in eastern Helsinki, painted by Kontula Art School (KAS), a community-based art school that promotes creative expression through public art projects. The mural features stylized woodland animals, trees, birds, flowers, city skylines and abstract blue patterns drawn in bright colors on a dark background. The imagery blends themes of nature, urban life and local identity. Kontula (Finnish: Kontula; Swedish: Gårdsbacka) is a diverse residential suburb of Helsinki, recognized for its strong community spirit, cultural initiatives and vibrant street-art scene.
