Alongside the exhibition 'Process – On the Joy of Painting Watercolour', a selection from the Museum Collection is presented during the spring of 2024.

The Nordic Watercolour Museum and Friends of The Nordic Watercolour Museum invite you to a series of lectures on the theme of Contemporary Art. The lectures will provide insights into the kind of art that often requires more information than fits inside a frame. Refreshments will be served by the museum, and there will also be opportunities to continue the discussion. All the lectures are on the main theme but can be enjoyed separately. Welcome to join like-minded art enthusiasts and gain some fascinating insights. (The lectures are held in Swedish)
Welcome to the museum on one Thursday evening every month to meet others, look at art and create something of your own. Each time, an art work from the Museum Collection becomes the starting point of the workshop and conversations. Coffee and tea is on us. From 12 years.
