Cultural experiences

Art in and around Ystad & Österlen. That art has a great significance in south-eastern Skåne is hard to miss. A large number of artists live and work in Österlen and the art world here is multifaceted. Here you will find everything from Scanian painting to modern art installations.

If you come here during the Easter week when Östra Skåne's Artists' Group, ÖSKG, invites you to the annual art round, the selection is so large that you may need help choosing which studios and galleries you want to visit! But that's a pleasant problem, isn 't it?

A good place to start your Art Round is at Tjörnedala Art Gallery, which is open all year round. Here, all participants during the art week are represented with at least one, then choose from those you like and go there. It's not harder than that!

Museums and art galleries also display very interesting art. At Ystad Art Museum, for example, you will find a unique and rich selection of both local and internationally renowned artists. The museum also often has interesting special exhibitions. This also applies to the art galleries in Tomelilla and Sjöbo.

In Simrishamn you will find Österlen's museum. In the small village of Simris, Gallery Thomas Wallner has its business. The gallery has access to fantastic spaces to exhibit, amounting to 350 square meters. One of Sweden's most interesting galleries focusing on young artists from Scandinavia, Europe and the USA.
