I went to
Umeå with my youngest daughter, Rosa, to visit her best friend that moved there during the summer. It's a university town in northern Sweden and a real cultural centre - the
Umeå Arts Campus (Fine Arts, Design, Architecture) together with the Museum of Arts, all situated at a walking distance right by the river. I visited
Bildmuseet (the Museum of Arts) together with Kirsi and Tim. There were three exhibitions, I enjoyed
Mario Merz most. Kirsi and Tim enjoyed
Björn Berg, one of Sweden’s most beloved book illustrators.
You could sit and draw and also touch some of the art :) which was not allowed on the other floors...
Umeå will be
European Capital of Culture 2014, there were building sites all over.
åååh! Umeå är min "home town" i Sverige (pappa bor där) och jag fick se lite av de nya konst centrumet (nära den nya järnvägsstationen) förra året när jag var där. Very exciting om 2014!
ReplyDelete:))) Vad roligt Stephanie! Jag gillar verkligen staden - skulle dock inte vilja bo där, fööör lång vinter tror jag...
