Artipelag
Artipelag is an art hall outside Stockholm in Sweden. The art hall opened in June 2012. The building and the surrounding landscape was designed by the late architect Johan Nyrén.[1][2][3] The building covers an area of approximately 10.000 square meters [4] and includes 3.000 square meters of art galleries and has 22 acres of surrounding natural scenery.[2] Coordinates: 59°18′25″N 18°20′52″E / 59.30694°N 18.34778°E
The art hall is founded on a donation by Björn Jakobson, founder and owner of the baby product company Babybjörn.[1]
Notable exhibitions have included works by William Wegman[5] and Candida Höfer.[6][7] The artistic director of Artipelag is Bo Nilsson.[8]
The name of the museum is a pun on "arkipelag," the Swedish word for "archipelago."[9]
