Britta Marakatt-Labba

Britta Marakatt-Labba has gained international recognition for her extraordinary embroideries. Her drawings and watercolours, however, are almost entirely unknown – works she has kept out of the public eye until now. The exhibition at The Nordic Watercolour Museum focuses on Britta Marakatt-Labba’s works on paper, which are being shown publicly for the first time. The exhibition features around 140 works, primarily watercolours, drawings and sketches, complemented by a selection of embroideries and graphic works.

Vatten Restaurang & Kafé

The restaurant remains open while the museum changes exhibitions! Here, you can enjoy memorable moments in the midst of a stunning scenery. The chefs cook from scratch; simple dishes with a focus on quality ingredients. The museum and the restaurant operate as separate entities but are united by a shared passion for the unique atmosphere of the location. During the exhibition change, the restaurant is open 11.30 am–2.30 pm on weekdays, and 12.00 noon–3.00 pm at weekends. Learn more about what the restaurant has to offer on their website or by contacting them.

The Collection

Unlike many other museums, The Nordic Watercolour Museum does not have a permanent exhibition of works from its collection. Instead, we continuously showcase selections from it. By working solely with temporary exhibitions, we are able to present a larger portion of our collection over time. The collection is a living and vital part of the museum's activities, and you can discover more about it here on our website.
