An art exhibition was arranged in
Umedalen for the first time in 1994 and it is now a permanent exhibition in a sculpture garden at the previous Umedalen hospital precinct.[1]
The property company Balticgruppen (The Baltic Group), together with Art Gallery Galleri Sandström Andersson, in 1987 bought the uncommissioned
psychiatric hospital Umedalen, around 20 stone houses in a park, by the
Västerbotten County Council. Sweden's largest art gallery has been built around the historic buildings that were previously used as the hospital.[2] Balticgruppen has purchased 44 sculptures, which now form the permanent exhibition in the sculpture park.[1]
