Located 7km north of Eskilstuna in the village of Torshälla, this museum features abstract steel sculptures by Allan Ebeling and paintings by his daughters, Marianne and Harriet, plus various temporary exhibitions. The old wooden houses and pretty riverside areas in the village surrounding the museum, a 40-minute bus ride or short drive from Eskilstuna, make a pleasant excursion.
