Leonardo da Vinci’s painting the Mona Lisa is considered priceless, yet it is often estimated to be worth around 23 billion Swedish kronor, or approximately 2.1 billion euros. Sweden’s defense budget in 2025 was between 138 and 148 billion, i.e. about 6 Mona Lisas. Running Sweden’s largest hospital, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, cost about 21.6 billion kronor in 2024, barely one Mona Lisa.

A lot of things are very important right now. We can talk about priorities and values, what is important, more important and most important and compare the different foundations on which a society rests. But does it make sense to place it in a hierarchical order? Art is important, very important if you ask us! What would we be like without art? Would we manage?

Welcome to the JANUARY EXHIBITION, where OUR MOVE by Andrea Hvistendahl is on display and can be played. OUR MOVE is a board game, an artwork, and a dialogue tool that visualizes, among other things, structures and power balances in society or complex systems. It has been used in various conflict resolution contexts such as the Syrian Talks and in Iraq, but also for future looking work or problem solving in places like Lusaka, Rio de Janeiro, New York, Geneva (UN, UNECE), the The State Environment Agency, at different universities, and more.

You are also invited to browse and explore the printed folder “Om krisen eller hopplösheten kommer” (“If crisis or hopelessness comes”). And as always, look at and try jewellery on show. In this exhibition by Karin Roy Andersson, Sanna Svedestedt, Tove Knuts and Sofia Björkman whose works, in different ways, relate to social changes and preparations for something that may come.
