Art returns to Vinterviken
Skulpturens hus in Vinterviken/Aspudden closed down in November 2006. But has reopened again under the name Wintervikens konsthall and is now runned by the popular café next door. Winterviken. In 1865 Alfred Nobel constructed the world?s first nitropglycerin-factory in an area called Vinterviken in Stockholm. Two years later he invented the dynamite and manufactured it in this location undtil 1920. Today the factory-area is transformed in to an art-gallery, and a nice recreational area with cafées, allotment gardens and a beautiful park area by lake Mälaren. In the summer the outdoor ecological Vinterviken gardens serves sandwiches and music by local musicians. The area Aspudden, Midsommarkransen och Telefonplan is one of the trendier suburbs in Stockholm.
