Fortified art

Posted on May 10, 2023 by Grubb

Post by Grubb.

Late this morning we walked to the Malmo Art Museum located inside the Malmo Castle, a Renaissance fortress of thick brick surrounded by a moat in the center of the old city.  Their current collection of Swedish artwork took us from the late sixteenth century to the present day.  The colorful modern pieces dispelled the gloom pervading the stony castle rooms where Malmo royalty must have burnt small forests in their cavernous fire places to keep warm.  

Nothing like a Nordic landscape to liven the mood.
Unfortunate time slot for an international art festival.
Beautifully crafted stained glass, but where does it belong?
Gives a new meaning to the term “tennis finals”.
Medieval chandelier.
