Sven-Harry's Art Museum (Swedish : Sven-Harrys Konstmuseum) is an art museum in Stockholm, Sweden, founded by builder Sven-Harry Karlsson. It is housed in a multi-purpose building alongside an art gallery, museum shop, apartments, and businesses.
The award-winning [1] Swedish builder Sven-Harry Karlsson (b. 1931) has been an art collector since the mid-1960s, forming a collection including work by Carl Fredrik Hill, Helene Schjerfbeck, Ernst Josephson, August Strindberg, Edvard Munch, Anders Zorn, and others. He constructed a building to house his collection in Vasaparken in Stockholm's inner city. [2] Designed by Gert Wingårdh and Anna Höglund of Wingårdh Architects, the 5-story building is clad in a gold-tinted copper-aluminium-zinc alloy designed not to darken when exposed to oxygen. [3] It opened in 2011 and is now owned and run by a foundation. [2] Its director since 2018 has been Dragana Kusoffsky Maksimović. [2]
In addition to Sven-Harry's Art Museum, the building houses an art gallery, a museum shop, a restaurant and other businesses, and 18 apartments in its 5,000 square metres (54,000 sq ft). [2] The museum is located at the top of the building and its interior spaces are designed as a replica of Sven-Harry Karlsson's former home in Lidingö, which dated back to the 1770s. [2] The art gallery, which is about 400 square metres (4,300 sq ft), is divided into three major halls split between the ground floor and the fourth floor. [2] It exhibits work by artists such as Karin Mamma Andersson and Torsten Andersson. The remainder of the ground floor is taken up by commercial enterprises. [3]
