The gallery was founded in 1912 by Carl Gummeson, a book seller, and quickly became known for presenting modern art. Since its opening, it has focused on bringing new art trends and innovative artists to the public.
The gallery displays works depicting everyday life and historical moments, often by Swedish artists and those from nearby regions. The space encourages visitors to look slowly at each piece and understand the stories behind the artworks.
