Public Art Agency Sweden’s mission is for art to be accessible and innovative where we live and work. In our audio guide, we have, so far, collected the stories behind fifty public artworks that the Agency has developed over eight decades, and which can be found all over the country. Curators, audience and artists are heard in the guide which thus becomes a collective mediating voice for the artworks. Work with the guide continues and new artworks will continue to be presented.
