Artscape Lighthouse is Sweden's largest street art project in 2022. Between 26 May and 8 June, artists from all over the world came together to decorate the city on the theme of 'man's interaction with the sea'. We cycled around and looked at the works. So delicious!

Here we are totally over even about which mural was the best - WOW I just say. Imagine being a street artist and being able to create such amazing works of art. It must be so much harder than painting on paper or canvas...?

What delicious Street Art! We have talked about how it is far too long since we visited Strömstad and Koster and now we got another reason to go there. Good that you can also pick up a physical map to follow.
