I'm fascinated by propaganda, regardless of the source. In this case, we have a photo essay of the Pyongyang Metro and the remarkable amount of nationalistic / pro-Kim artwork and aesthetic focus.The Metro is a big part of how North Korea feels it is part of the modern community of nations, while it also serves as a billboard for indoctrination reinforcement for the citizenry that rides it.
Until recently, only two stations were open to tourists (leading to conspiracy theories that there were, in fact, only those two stops, regardless of what the maps said). This article has pictures from all the various stations, now on display for those few people visiting the country.

I was part of the first ever group of foreigners given access to all stations across both lines of the Pyongyang Metro. Here’s my experience!
its very interesting essay!
