Swedish Art Across The U.S.

On a recent quiet Saturday stroll through a local art museum, we got to thinking about the world of Swedish fine artists. We’ve talked a lot about the performing arts, but what about the visual arts? We pulled together a few Swedish artists and where you can find some of their works on display across the States.
