Färgfabriken

Färgfabriken is a museum and a platform for contemporary art, architecture, urban planning and design. It has had that role since 1995. The name means “the color factory” and refers to the building’s past: paint, soap and other materials for artists were made there in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The venue is in Liljeholmen.

The subjects on offer reach beyond art exhibitions. The venue’s programme listings include a children’s flag-making workshop, a flea market, an evening about young culture, a symposium and a conference. Färgfabriken’s café serves fika, lunch and brunch, and the venue website also lists a shop. A visit can therefore combine looking at art or design with a café stop, though the available details do not give a visit length, ticket prices or opening hours. Check the venue’s current programme before setting out for a particular event. The listed programme includes events with dates, but no year is shown, so those dates do not establish what is happening this week. The material does not specify how long visitors typically spend there.
