The Nordic Watercolour Museum in Skärhamn on the island Tjörn on the west coast of Sweden, 70 kilometers north of Gothenburg, opened in 2000. It's a unique combination of museum, artist workshop and research facility. Among the exhibitions one can mention the Anders Zorn-exhibit. The architects behind the museum, painted in the typical Swedish Falu red colour, are the Danes Niels Bruun och Henrik Corfitsen. They won the assignment after a major international competition.
