The Art Route of the Seven Rivers

Probably the longest permanent art exhibition in the world.

Last weekend we decided to visit some of the works of art located along the road to the north of Sweden.

"The Seven River Art Route" is probably the longest permanent art exhibition in the world.  It extends for 350 km, from the coast to the mountains.
