Gothenburg Röhsska Museum

Wednesday we visited Gothenburg Röhsska Museum for Design, Fashion and Decorative Arts. Anything is covered by this description as I discovered when I found a sign over the bathroom radiator

Staircase

The ceiling of the museum shop

Tapestry Running water from 1906 by Swedish artist Gustaf Fjæstad - cotton, wool, and silk.

 Falk Simon's donation - a lot of historical silver objects. Quite impressive

A strange exhibition was the From the Coolest Corner - contemporary nordic jewlery. Some items were quite nice - others really challenged my concept of jewlery. Here are three that I actually like.

Broche Grandma sings the blues from 2011-12 by Norwegian designer Elise Hatlø

 Necklace Prelude from 2012 by Norwegian designer Anne Léger

Necklace Garland  from 2010 by Finish designer Aino Favén - this is made from used plastic bags/polyester cloth

In the museum shop a surprise exhibit of two mosaics from the throne room of Nebukadnesar II's (y. 604-563 B.C.) - the lion and the dragon
