Sculpture in Pilane

Every summer in the historic Bohuslän landscape, alongside Stone Age remains and grazing sheep, is a sculpture exhibition of world-leading artists. One of the world's largest and most beautiful works of art, the 14 meter high sculpture ANNA, by the Spanish artist Jaume Plensa, sits high on the cliffs with her timeless face turned to the sea while the seasons flow around her.

New artworks 2024: sculptors include Laura Ford, Andrew Sabin, Lenny Clarhäll, Moa Israelsson, Maria Miesenberger, Ann Wolff, and Ida Koitila.

Pater Noster

The Pater Noster lighthouse on the island of Hamneskär guided sailors for over 150 years. The masterful architecture of this legendary lighthouse is now a home on the horizon. The solitary lighthouse keeper's residence is one of the world's foremost design hotels, and has won several awards such as the World's Best Hotel Concept 2021 and the Stora Turismpriset 2022.

Exhibition 2024: The Art & Science of Water exhibition is a tribute to the sea and water on our planet and will be displayed outdoors around the island. (May 1 - September 1)
