Beskrivning
The art museum "Martinssonska Gården" is open during the summer season and is located on the street Lotsgatan in Karlshamn, in a charming neighborhood of old wooden houses.The house, where the late artist Johnny Martinsson lived, has also been home to three of his artist friends, namely Oskar Wickström, Thure Wahlström and Per Serre. The four artists' works are now gathered under the same roof. In total there are eleven rooms to explore. There is also an outdoor courtyard where the larger sculptures are displayed.
Johnny Martinsson's artistic expression has been strongly influenced by his upbringing on the island of Tärnö and life by the sea. His artwork explores the force fields in the lines of ships, the movement of water, the shapes of frames and the surfaces of sailcloth.
The house, which dates from the early 1800s, has been carefully restored and also includes an 18th-century farmhouse. There is also a cobblestone courtyard and a lush garden. Here the visitor encounters modern art framed in lush greenery, a piece of culturally valuable building history together with an enriching art experience.
Open summertime for visitors. For visits other time of the year, contact the museum via email for booking.

June 26 - August 31 Thursday-Sunday 13:00-16:00
