Nordic Watercolor Museum

A very nice little art museum with a great restaurant Vatten. The surroundings are to die for

Fantastic location, museum and exhibition at the waterfront of the Swedish west coast. Skärshamn itself is worth while a visit , but make sure you include a visit to the water colour museum as well as the well stocked water colour museum shop.

Always interesting artists and well curated exhibits. Adult admission 150SKR includes a membership. Kids under 26 are free.nnThe museum specializes in watercolor artists only. See website for current and future exhibits. Classes are also offered by appointment in museum studios.nnPictures from Vanishing Point by Hand Op De Beeck

First of all, the museum’s seaside location is breathtakingly beautiful, regardless of the time of year when you visit.nnIn the summer, there are several great places on the adjacent wooden piers and cliffs where you can go for a swim and work on your burgeoning summer tan.nnWhile the museum does have a popular restaurant and café, from around late June, a half dozen nearby seafood restaurants open up .nnTo be totally honest, as a visual artist, my preconception of watercolor as a medium wasn’t overwhelmingly positive when I walked in to the Nordic Watercolor Museum.nnBut after spending more than an hour there, I now have a totally different opinion and a lot more respect for the artists that paint with watercolors. I was also genuinely impressed with the museum’s curation and exhibit design.nnFolks, this is a top-notch destination for art lovers of all ages – in a stunning seaside location along Sweden’s spectacularly gorgeous west coast.nnHighly recommendable!

It is an amazing museum for modern art situated by the ocean. A nice restaurant if you want to eat and a little curioshopnThis sumner was a sculpture and aqvarell exhibition by the Dutch artist Hans Oop de Beek
