See the vibrant art that turned a school into a meeting place

In the 1900s, a group of artists called the Halmstad Gruppen defied convention and formed a collective known for their bright and distinctly Swedish paintings. In the 1980s, Viveka Bosson, the daughter of one of the group's members, bought a former elementary school on the outskirts of Halmstad, Sweden, to establish Mjellby Art Museum. Today, the museum maintains its reputation as a hub for contemporary art and as a living legacy for those seeking a tangible connection to the formation of Swedish artistic movements.
