Liljevalchs Konsthall
If you're in town February to mid-March, the Vårsalongen Art Show held here is a fun place to shop for high art and kitsch from both new and established Swedish artists. Otherwise, come for the neo-classical architecture, Carl Milles statues by the entrance and top-notch temporary exhibitions of modern art, which range from video, photography and sculpture to painting, drawing and etching.

The rather dreamy Swedish system of consensus-building, as presented by clued-up guides, has been known to elicit chuckles of disbelief.
