Sven Harry’s Art Museum

Sven-Harry’s art museum has a mission and underlying theme of making art more accessible to everyone. It’s a refreshing unpretentious art gallery with a broad and varied spectrum of contemporary and classical art, creating conversations about the different concepts of art, with exhibitions, collaborations, and discussions, in an active, living house and home.

One of the museum’s most talked-about installations is the replica of Sven-Harry’s former home on the roof, an 18th-century manor Ekholmsnäs surrounded by a terrace with sculptures and a fantastic view of Vasastan. In this unique domestic setting, visitors can see one of Sweden’s largest private collections of Nordic art, with a special emphasis on works by Carl Fredrik Hill.

The collection also includes works by Ernst Josephson, August Strindberg, and Helene Schjerfbeck. The art is complemented by furniture by Gio Ponti and Georg Haupt, and carpets by Märta Måås-Fjetterström.
