Sven Harrys Art Museum, a must-see in Vasastan

As you stroll through Vasaparkens Park, the Sven Harrys Art Museum appears, elegant in its shiny coat. After the first surprise, you're invited to discover sublime collections on 400 m² of exhibition space spread over 2 floors. Whether permanent or temporary, they leave no one indifferent and can be discovered at your own pace from Tuesday to Sunday in the 3 exhibition rooms. Don't forget to admire one of the museum's largest collections of Nordic art. The visit continues on the terrace where an exact copy of collector Sven-Harrys Karlsson's residence dominates the space, a magnificent 18th-century manor house with its original furniture and art collection. 

Sven Harrys Art Museum, fashion at the heart of creativity in Vasastan

Haute couture is a delicate art that appeals to the emotions and sensibilities of designers, who share their vision of fashion through uniquely stylized pieces. On the first floor of the museum, a magnificent exhibition plunges you into the world of haute couture, a blend of modernity and innovation. The artists on display are needle wizards who play with materials, contrasts and colors, presenting elegant, designer collections. Olivier Saillard, Nikoline Liv Andersen, Selam Fessahaye and Linda Nurk, for example, have already had the opportunity to express their art at the Musée d'art de Sven Harrys, as has Azzedine Alaïa this year, one of the biggest stars in fashion history.
