Not Quite

Not Quite
A bit of New York, a bit of rural life, Not Quite is a growing cultural centre in the wilds of Northern Dalsland. In an old brick paper factory artists, designers and craftspeople have set to work in studios and workshops, and what was an old disused space is now a hub of activity, with a gallery, an arts and crafts boutique, and exhibition spaces. There are also a variety of events and a lovely café. It’s well worth the trip to see what is going on outside the more established art scenes of the cities.
Not Quite. Fabriksvägen 2A, Fengersfors, Sweden. +46 532-233 88
Pumphuset Borstahusen

Pumphuset Borstahusen
Located about halfway between Malmö and Helsingborg, in the picturesque fishing village Borstahusen. It contains a permanent exhibition about the town, as well as one of Sweden’s best art galleries, perched on the edge of the sea. While you might expect some touristy seascapes think again – this may be a quaint and charming little town but like in much of the rest of Sweden, art is taken seriously.
Pumphuset. Nedre Gatan 97, Landskrona, Sweden. +46 418 131 30
Mollbrink's Gallery
Mollbrink’s Gallery
Mollbrink’s presents a wide range of works from the mid-1800s on through to today. Both classical and modern paintings are represented, as well as sculpture, photography, and graphic art. What makes the gallery truly stand out is its specialisation in Anders Zorn, one of Sweden’s most beloved and successful artists.
Mollbrink’s Gallery. Kungsgatan 43, Uppsala, Sweden. +46 18-14 80 80
