For Bus Tour Operators
Stepping into Verket is like walking straight into history – a powerful industrial setting from 1874 that today serves as an industrial museum featuring the contemporary art exhibition Avesta Art, which runs from mid-May to mid-September. The raw industrial walls combined with contemporary art create a unique experience that fascinates both seasoned cultural travelers and first-time visitors.
To experience everything at a relaxed pace, we recommend allowing about 1.5 hours – there is a lot of space to explore!
Guided tours
Our guided tours usually last 75–90 minutes. Maximum 25 people per group. For larger groups, we divide them into several groups. Entrance fee + SEK 900 for the first guide and SEK 700 for each additional guide. The entrance fee is then SEK 75 per person instead of SEK 140/95. Our guides use Strong Voice, a wireless voice amplification system. The bus driver/tour leader can join free of charge and is offered coffee if desired.
