Sandgrund Lars Lerin — Attraction in Karlstads kommun

I'm not a huge fan of art but visited the gallery whilst on holiday in the area whilst staying with my sister. And what a delight! I was staggered by the artist's hand, such talent and even more special knowing he's a local chap too. I've read some of the other reviews and yes, glass covers so make viewing some pictures slightly awkward because of the glare, and the spot lights do shine a bit annoyingly on others, but neither of these 2 factors spoilt the artist's effect or removed any of the enjoyment of admiring the exhibits.

I find it crazy to pay an entrance fee for such a poor way of...

Nice, clean and very cozy gallery showing one of Värmland's most loved arists. Unfortunately most of the pictures were put in a frame/behind a plane of glass which with the spot light lighting that this place has made a horrible glare on the glass, making the pictures hard to see. Which is unfortunate, since when looking at drawings it is slightly infuriating not being able to properly see the picture drawn.
