The Crossroads Exhibit was very informative of all of the world problems currently happening (such as global warming, government, freedom, etc) and had a small section about the Afghanistan's state through the eyes of photographers. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to know more about the world (since it is a world culture museum) in a fun and interactive yet serious way. There is a cafe, gift store and FREE lockers if you do visit!

Mölndals Stadsmuseum is no exception to this rule. During my visit last winter, there was an exhibition on life in Sweden in the 70s. This was pretty alright, but what I liked best is the history of the building itself: it was once a sock/stocking factory. It's also nice to eat lunch in the adjoining restaurant or wander the grounds. The best part? The museum is free! So if you have an hour to kill and want to see some neat things and learn a little something, check it out.

To me this stadium will always be famous in the rock world as this is where back in 2015 when we were there Dave broke his leg. The dressing rooms are ok. The load out from the stage is a fairly easy push. Not to far. From a fans view the nose bleed seats are very high so probably shitty. And the floor is massive so if your towards the back I'm sure it's not great either! Very beautiful city and the stadium sits in a cool area of town. Check it out if your ever in Gothenburg

Although there was a lot of stuff in this museum that I liked, it did have a few issues…read more But first, the good. The top floor was great. I loved the huge array of paintings here, from Picasso to a million Illustres Inconnus that had incredible artwork. I especially liked the landscape paintings, with "En Solglimt" (Nils Kreuger) and "Brinnande ångbåt" (Marcus Larson) being some of my favorites in that category. I spent most of my time on this floor, and I imagine you will too. As you descend, it shifts to more contemporary art. There is a large hall lined with statues and sculptures that are all contemporary art, and a room branching off filled with self-portraits. On the top of the stairs on one end of that hall is a ping pong table, which would be great to keep kids occupied (you can use it). The temporary exhibition was regarding the artwork of Ilon Wikland; a comic I had never heard of, but with incredible artwork, and an even more incredible story. I enjoyed this exhibit and learned a lot about Wikland. I was not an enormous fan of the contemporary art here, but the other art made up for it.

I've lived in DC, Philadelphia, New York, and now Chicago... so my expectations for this museum…read morewere pretty low (I've been quite museum spoiled) but to my great surprise this museum was fantastic! The hours are quite generous... they usually stay open until about 9pm. I went around 6-7 and the museum was so quiet and sparse. It was amazing that when I started my journey on the top floor I was literally the only person in there. Not even the staff lurked about or kept an eye on me. I could've gotten out my rollerskates and gone unnoticed for at least a few minutes! The perk of that is I believe that crowds ruin a museum experience. I feel as though I want to rush through or just see what I need to then leave. At this museum I felt the opposite. The majority of the work shown is Nordic or Scandinavian based for obvious reasons. They had a nice Edvard Munch exhibit when I was there - some sketches of his. But the permanent collection is actually really nice. My own work gravitates towards the morbid or bizarre, and this museum definitely seems to have a melancholy theme. There are plenty of landscapes to admire but also a lot of people as subjects. Bizarre and surreal psychological based work. It was actually something to see all of the work together. The sculptures and frescoes are also quite beautiful. Keep in mind I went during March, so I think I hit an off-peak season. I'm not sure how it bodes in summer months, but I can definitely attest to this museum being right up there with AIC, PMA and MoMA. If you happen to go to Göteborg, you should absolutely visit this museum.

Highlights include a rock garden, a kitchen garden that grows hundreds of vegetables, and an herb garden with an 18th-century summerhouse. Gothenburg Botanical Gardens is open year round and is a perfect place to walk, rest, admire, and reflect. Gayle and I recently visited the Gothenburg Botanical Garden during a shore excursion off our Oceania Cruise ship. As with most of these kind of tours, we really only experienced a small taste of what this wonderful oasis offers. However, our tour guide was very good at accenting some of the highlights. They also have a nice gift shop, of which I picked up nice illustrated 2024 calendrer. Please enjoy some of my pictures.
