Step into the beautiful building that began construction in 1938. A box with a bit of a time capsule was simultaneously bricked into the foundation of the eastern wing. Visit one of the many exhibitions, learn more about how history unfolds here and now. See the glasses designed by world famous glass designers of all times, Gunnar Syrén, set out in the Blue Hall at the Nobel Banquet—just to mention a few things. What will be your favorite? Can you even choose just one?
Gävle Concert Hall was inaugurated in 1998 and was designed by architect Bo Karlberg. The concert hall is located where the Strömbadet bathhouse used to be, and before that, Rettig's orphanage. The building is situated by the rapids of Gavleån, and its facade is clad in glossy deep-blue tiles. Two large bay windows face Gavleån and the City Garden, where Carl Milles' "Five Musician Geniuses," also known as "Milles Angels," play tirelessly in the background.
In 1878, Gävle Theater was completed, inspired by a newly constructed theater in Paris. In accordance with the prevailing architectural ideals of the time, the building took shape based on its function as a theater, with a dome-shaped roof and a distinctive tall structure for the stage. It was built to showcase contemporary performing arts, a tradition that continues today by hosting current performing arts in one of Gävle's most beautiful and historically significant buildings.
We showcase the history of Gävle. Since 2009, in collaboration with the Gävleborg County Museum, the Municipality of Gävle has been working on displaying the architectural and cultural history of Gävle. On this page, you'll find the signs with texts and images just as they appear throughout Gävle.
