Mjellby Art Museum

Mjellby Art Museum is situated 4 km outside Halmstad, Sweden. Mjellby Art Museum is specifically the residence of Halmstadgruppen (Halmstad group), whose work is often presented here in new formations. Here is a large permanent collection of the group's art. The museum's art gallery shows annually four to five exhibitions of everything from contemporary art to modernism. The museum was founded in 1980 by Viveca Bosson, who is daughter to one of the members in Halmstadgruppen (Erik Olson). Viveca Bosson has also written several books about early surrealism in Sweden, Halmstadgruppen[1] and GAN (Gösta Adrian Nilsson).[2]

There is also an art gallery showing exhibitions of diverse content – everything from 1900s big-modernists to the current contemporary art.
