A bronze swan at Banérgatan is said to speak the forgotten language of war

A sculpture by artist Karl-Gunnar Lindahl, commissioned by Statens konstråd, stands on a granite pedestal, at Banérgatan on Gärdet, outside Försvarets materielverk and Krigsarkivet. It is believed to speak to the war dead, with some claiming it holds the language of Solna's forgotten battle.
