Architecture in harmony with nature
The museum is an architectural gem in itself. The building blends harmoniously into the Bohuslän nature, with its clean lines and facades that reflect the rocks and the sea. It is located right on the water, and if you walk out onto the piers around the museum, you get a fantastic view of Skärhamn and Kattegat.
