Situated a short boat journey from the Swedish capital of Stockholm, the stunning surroundings of Baggen’s Bay on Värmdö form part of the archipelago of islands that sweep out from the city across the sparkling Baltic sea. In the midst of the island's majestic pine forest, visitors will find Artipelag, one of Stockholm’s newest and largest galleries; recent exhibitions include an Andy Warhol and Carouschka Streijffert retrospective, amongst others.
Founded in 2000 by Björn Jakobson, the creator of BabyBjörn, the centre's programme combines art exhibitions with concerts and other events to form a 360-degree approach to supporting creative culture. What's more, the waterside restaurant provides picturesque views over the rocky beaches and out to the Baggensfjärden bay, along with fresh seasonal produce and barbecues in the summer.
The collection at ARKEN is as established as it is experimental, with works from Damien Hirst, Grayson Perry, Olafur Eliasson and Ai Weiwei, alongside seasonal exhibitions . Don't miss the ARKEN café, which"hangs like a lifeboat on the side of Arken", for fresh Danish produce and unparalleled views of the beach.
