Come closer to the stories, the art, the people
Olofström is culture with roots, raw, real, and deeply connected to nature. From lush parks and quirky museums to literary legends and live festivals, this is a place where stories live on and traditions take center stage.
A cultural heritage that speaks
Step into the world of Nobel Prize winner Harry Martinson. Walk the quiet paths of Tulseboda Brunnspark, an award-winning park with a rich history of healing and community. Or dive into Nässelfrossa – a weeklong culture festival bursting with 100+ events, talks, and performances.
Museums that surprise
Don’t miss the Hanger Museum (Galgmuseet), a tribute to the humble coat hanger’s unexpected design journey. Visit the Stone Museum in Vilshult to discover how black diabase from Olofström became part of the Empire State Building. Or explore local heritage museums that keep crafts, industry stories, and village legends alive.
Art with soul
Find sculptures by Carl Eldh in Aniara Park and Kyrkhult Cemetery – a touch of metropolitan ambition in a small-town setting. From outdoor installations to historic schoolhouses turned into galleries, art here is part of the everyday.
