About this place
Skövde Konstmuseet sits in the heart of Skövde, a mid-sized Swedish city whose identity has been shaped by waves of industry, migration, and civic life. The museum building itself is a landmark — but the streets that surround it carry stories that rarely make it inside any exhibition.
This experience was created as part of Att Bryta Ljud 2025, a site-specific sound art event organised by K.Skaraborg and Platåbergens UNESCO Global Geopark, bringing cultural experiences out of galleries and into the landscape of rural and urban Skaraborg.
The experience
As you walk the blocks around Skövde Konstmuseet, your position is tracked by GPS. When you approach one of the marked sites, an audio layer activates — ambient sounds first, then narration as you step into the centre of each zone.
The stories you hear connect the museum's artistic mission to the wider life of the city: public space, cultural identity, and the ordinary places where history quietly accumulates. The route takes roughly 30–45 minutes on foot.

When prompted, allow the browser to access your location. This is required for the GPS system to work.
Follow the audio as you move through the site — step into marked zones to unlock narration. Explore at your own pace; there is no timer and no wrong direction. (This experience was designed alongside physical frames installed during Att Bryta Ljud. If you visit independently, the installation may not be present — but you can still access all audio content via the interactive map points.)
