Permanent art in Verket
There are a number of fixed works of art and installations in Verket. They are available in various shapes, designs and materials, such as glass sculptures, paintings, built-up rooms, etc. Most have come in place through an Avesta Art year, and have remained there after. Others have found home in the suggestive premises in a different way. All installations are in one way or another completely integrated into the environment.
