Nordic Watercolour Museum

The Nordic Watercolour Museum (Swedish: Nordiska Akvarellmuseet) is a museum, artist workshop and research facility in Skärhamn on the island of Tjörn in Sweden, opened in 2000.

The architects behind the museum, painted in the typical Swedish Falu red colour, are the Danes Niels Bruun and Henrik Corfitsen,[1] who won the assignment after an international competition.

An extension built in 2012 was designed by Anders Tengbom [sv].

[5] In 2015 it celebrated its fifteenth anniversary and started a new book series, Vattenkonst Nordiska Akvarellmuseet.

The studios support artistic collaboration for public programs, study courses, publications, lectures and offer artists opportunities for studio visits.
