Abecita Pop Art & Photography is not like other art museums
The works hanging here were never originally intended to adorn the walls of a museum. Instead, they were hung at the home of Bengt and Berit Swegmark in their Borås residence. One day, the collection became larger than their home could handle. Then Abecita Popkonst & Foto was born, which today consists of three floors with a total of 2400m².
The museum's collection - unique in Europe - consists of graphic art and photography from Europe and the USA, as well as award-winning Nordic textile art. With around 500 works, it is unique in Europe and is represented by some 30 artists from 1961 onwards.
