The Nordic Watercolour Museum
25 years
Welcome to the opening of the autumn exhibitions with us! We are proud to present It may be something the sea lays at my feet, a solo exhibition with the artist Carin Ellberg. As the exhibition title suggests, it is about a meeting between external and internal landscapes, between nature and imagination and between feelings and memories. On the same occasion, the exhibition Recent Acquisitions in the Museum Collection opens, with works by 15 artists acquired during the years 2018–2022.
2 pm Museum director Bera Nordal inaugurates the exhibitions
3 pm Concert: The New Alchemy
2–4 pm The studio is open to all those who want to try on watercolour painting
We offer a bus, free of charge, Gothenburg–Skärhamn round trip to the opening of this autumn's exhibition. Limited amount of seats, pre-booking required.

On the day of the opening, The New Alchemy takes the stage of The Nordic Watercolour Museum. Five of Ellberg's works have been the starting point for the completely newly written music, and during this musical performance a cosmic constellation is formed between art, music and space.
In this solo exhibition with Carin Ellberg, the artist's latest watercolours, sculptural objects and a selection of older works are shown. Some works have been created especially for the exhibition and are being presented for the first time. Some motifs are reoccurring and include imaginative shapes reminiscent of sea shells, jellyfish, octopuses and seaweed – things that might be washed up on shore.
Participating artists: Gunilla Bergström, Andreas Eriksson, Mats Gustafson, Arne Isacsson, Bernd Koberling, Leiko Ikemura, Lars Lerin, Maria Nordin, Jockum Nordström, Martha Ossowska Persson, Adam Saks, Astrid Svangren, Fredrik Söderberg, Katja Tukiainen and Knutte Wester
