From Industry to Art in Nora

Do you have time for a detour? Round out your 48 hours of art in the neighboring town of Nora. In the Bryggerikvarteret district, 19th-century industrial buildings have been transformed into a creative melting pot of the 2020s. Here you’ll find delicious food and drink—and can visit studios, art exhibitions, and workshops.

Art at High Altitude in Kumla

Time for another art outing? Take the route past Kumla and stack up the impressions. Literally. “Konst på Hög” is the collective name for the sculpture park, which features everything from fascinating landmarks to installations. The spectacular Kvarntorpshögen rises 100 meters toward the sky, and the path to the top leads either via a winding road or the famous staircase with its 427 steps. At the top, there’s also a café that serves coffee and pastries in the summer.
