About the museum
A meeting place for art, nature and people, an arena for art based on water, pigment and paper.
museet mobil
The Nordic Watercolour Museum has since its inauguration in 2000 explored watercolour painting, contemporary and historically. This is done through exhibitions, research, art education and by promoting the contemporary Nordic art scene. What began as a desire to highlight an artistic medium, has grown into a larger context, which is reflected both locally and internationally.
We break down the watercolour medium into its main components: water, pigment and paper. We look at these components from three perspectives: the watercolour as tradition, the watercolour as expression and the watercolour as concept. We broaden the meaning of the word "watercolour" when we examine its role today and yesterday, with the goal of enriching people's lives through exciting and powerful encounters with art.

Pilane
This vibrant agricultural landscape features Stone Age settlements and Iron Age tombs alongside world-class art.
Sculpture in Pilane
Pilane cemetery is one of Sweden's most beautifully located burial grounds. Here there are about 90 judge's rings, standing stones and stone settings from the Iron Age. Everything is surrounded by an ancient cultural landscape with traces from the Stone Age.
Nature
Grazing sheep keep the fields open. Typical meadow plants such as cat's foot, meadow violet and almond blossom grow on the hills. There are also plants here that belong on the really nice natural pastures, for example spring vetches, dwarf dandelions and spongy woolly grass.
On the way from the parking lot to the burial ground, you pass an old shell gravel road. The sea reached here 10,000 years ago, when conditions were favorable for clams and shells. There are also many lime-loving plants here, such as wild flax, bramble, ragwort and many other species.
History
In the past, flint chips and parts of tools have been found in the area, but findings during excavations in the early 1980s show that people settled here as early as 8,000 years ago. During the latter part of the Stone Age, people kept cattle, cultivated the land and hunted. Next to the exit from Kyrkesundsvägen there is a rock carving from the Bronze Age: fifteen ships with flared fore and aft parts and so-called manning lines.
There are about 90 graves here from the Iron Age (500 BC to AD 1050). In the northern part of the burial ground there are some judges' rings.
Find here
Drive road 169 towards Skärhamn, turn right at the Kyrkesund sign at the Vallhamn intersection. Pass Kållekärr and drive another 3 kilometers. Turn right at the roundabout, towards Kyrkesund. Follow the road for 4.5 km and then turn left at the Pilane and Gravfält signs. A couple of hundred meters in, on the right, is the burial ground.
