Great market for both antiques bargaining and second hand jeans! This flea market is extremely popular on TikTok :) New vendors every Saturday (about 100 every day) so great potential for finding real treasures. You&#x27;ll find the market in the park around the fountain of Karlaplan. Stroll through the market, have a fika and enjoy a day in the park.

How did Sweden go from a poor agricultural country on Europe’s edge to a global technology nation? This opening discussion on Tekniska&#x27;s Talbar talk forum, with participants including Moa Wallin and Kjell A. Nordström, explores what shaped Sweden: visions, dreams and political courage — or luck, timing and favorable conditions. Linked to the new exhibition Drömlandet, it asks whether, in an age of AI, climate crisis and geopolitical unrest, there is still courage to shape the future.

Eight images photographed in the disused heating plant Panncentralen, in Gustavsberg, Värmdö. The heating plant has a history of supplying the porcelain factory and the community of Gustavsberg with heat, hot water, steam and gas from a generator. The space now functions as an art gallery, among other things.

Sillanpää sees the world through books. In her eyes anything, a stone, a piece of wood can be a book. At the same time, she views books in the same manner as other artistic materials. In them she finds an opening that allows her to implement an idea and a conceptual action. When she finds, or is found by, a charged object, she approaches it based on the idea it gives rise to.

One of the most beloved classical operas with impeccably beautiful music – but now is the time to dismiss Madama Butterfly’s romantic light. Cio-Cio San is a fifteen-year-old girl who is sold to an American officer, but she dreams of and believes in love until the bitter end.  In director Sofia Adrian Jupither’s version, with its substantial dose of realism, the contrast between gentle music and hard reality becomes a heart-rending experience.

At the turn of the 20th century, Alphonse Mucha was one of the most famous artists in Europe.

The “Mucha style” has been a source of fascination ever since it was created and was applied to a variety of artworks and objects that adorned art lovers’ homes around the world at the time.
