The Globe is Sweden’s largest entertainment venue and the world’s largest hemispherical building. Basically, it looks like a giant golf ball and besides hosting concerts and sports events, it also represents the sun in a huge replica of the solar system, built in the scale of 1:20 million. That last part I didn’t even know about until looking the Globe up on Wikipedia, and neither did anyone I mentioned it to, so it might not be well known. Chances are you can impress some Swedish people by dropping that little fact into a casual conversation.
