Bildmuseet is filled with art experiences all summer - completely free. Four exhibitions with different expressions, guided tours several times daily, and the opportunity for a moment of relaxing reading in our art workshop.
At Bildmuseet, you can experience world-class international contemporary art. Seven floors with various artistic expressions and experiences. During the summer, four exhibitions are on display:
Elias Crespin / Chronomorphosis Mobile sculptures move slowly and gracefully in complex, precise formations, seemingly floating freely in the air. Circles, squares, lines, and triangles made of metal or acrylic, suspended by barely noticeable nylon threads, form geometric choreographies based on mathematical algorithms. Elias Crespin's hypnotically suggestive works invite reflection on form, space, movement, and time. He is one of the few living artists represented in the Louvre.
Eight Degrees / Contemporary Art on the Forest The exhibition presents contemporary art that tells about humanity's complex relationship with the forest, from the perception of an inviolable intrinsic value to the notion of something to be used as an economic resource or a place for recreation. What is a forest? And what questions about it are urgent here and now?
Umeå Academy of Fine Art / After Tomorrow at Sunrise The annual exhibition with master's students from Umeå Art Academy marks the culmination of a period of intense work and research for the master's students.
Swedish Picture Book of the Year / Everybody Eats Everybody The exhibition at Bildmuseet presents all the original paintings for the award-winning book, and here you can also hear Aron Landahl read it.
Daily Tours A guided tour offers new insights into the art. Bildmuseet offers free tours three times a day in both longer and shorter formats.
1:00 PM Lunch Tour: A 30-45 minute tour with presentations of the current exhibitions. On Saturdays, the lunch tour is given in English. 2:00 PM Meet an Artwork: A short tour, about 10 minutes, of one or a few selected works in the exhibitions. 3:00 PM Meet an Artwork: A short tour, about 10 minutes, of one or a few selected works in the exhibitions.
The art workshop becomes a reading room and a moment of relaxation during the summer.
