Sun, to 7pm Wed; 3, 9 Vagnhallen Majorna)
Occupying a defunct, graffitied power station beside the giant Älvsborgsbron, Röda Sten's
four floors are home to such temporary exhibitions as edgy Swedish photography and
cross-dressing rap videos by Danish-Filipino artist Lillibeth Cuenca Rasmussen that chal-
lenge sexuality stereotypes in Afghan society. The indie-style cafe hosts weekly live music
and club nights, and offbeat one-offs like punk bike races, boxing matches and stand-up
comedy. To get there, walk towards the Klippan precinct, continue under Älvsborgsbron
and look for the brown-brick building.
Beside Röda Sten, check out work-in-progress The Thing , a communal 'sculpture' in the
vein of Lars Vilks' Nimis. On weekends, families head here with hammers and nails to
further its evolution.

In what is arguably the best museum for kids in Sweden, you find yourself in the midst of
a humid rainforest, complete with trickling water, tropical birds and butterflies flitting
through the greenery, and tiny marmosets. On a level above, roaring dinosaurs maul each
other, while next door, denizens of the deep float through the shark tunnel and venomous
beauties lie coiled in the serpent tanks. In the 'technology inspired by nature' section, stick
your children to the Velcro wall.
If that's not enough, go button crazy with the fantastically fun, hands-on science exhibi-
tions, where themes range from nanotechnology and space travel to mixing music.
