This is a large building with plenty of light with only the art and books of a single Swedish artist. This is the Varmlands which has more forest and meadows than all the rest of Europe. Lars had traveled to the Arctic and Anarctica and the displays were sort of patchwork quilt samples of a particular theme all in watercolors. There was so much to see that we stayed for hours before walking through downtown Karlstad. "Memories, words, sentences and fragments of images in his paintings together form a puzzle that captures impressions of life and warmth that perhaps may no longer exist."

If you visit Karlstad, and is interested in aquarels or paintings in general, you should spend at least 30 min at Sandgrund. Lerins paintings are really something! A nice presentation of his works and at lot of different views and focusareas. If hungry, you may have a light lunch at the place. Remember, the place is closed on mondays! Enjoy!

I really like the way Lars Lerin paint. He make his paintings full of life. I especially like the way he catches the light.

Lars Lerin is Swedens best watercolourpainter. Must be seen. He has been around the world and painted what he?s seen. Both the beatuiful and the poor and meager.

Lars Lerin, an artist who lives in Varmland, is highly thought of in Sweden and has indeed done many fine watercolours. But few of them are to be found here. The overall impression you get from the display is of greyness. There is very little colour. A few of the works stand out, perhaps 6 or so, but the paintings are displayed untidily and without mounting or framing. I really do not think it is worth paying 80 kroner to visit unless you are already an avid fan.

I had never imagined before that watercolor paintings could be this diverse. Animals, snow-landscapes, and exotic buildings, it's all there in Karlstad's former dance saloon. Lars Lerin certainly is a world class artist.

Lars Lerin is an interesting watercolor painter at a nice museum in Karlstad. Amazing paintings from many parts of the world.

Lars Lerins konst beh?ver inte n?gon beskrivning den ?r helt enkelt suver?nt bra.Det ?r absolut v?rt ett bes?k och d? l?get ?r s? n?ra V?rmlands museum kan man ansl? n?gra timmar p? b?da platserna med kanske en mat/fikapaus emellan

Fin konst. Vilket ju f?rst?s ?r subjektivt men om man bes?ker museet bygger det nog p? att man gillar Lars Lerin... Annars blir det lite enahanda med bara en konstn?rs verk. En sev?rd tillf?llig utst?llning med fotografier fr?n Afganistan. Men som bes?ksm?l k?ndes det ?nd? inte helgjutet. Lite ?dsligt, lite kalt, inte s?rskilt ombonat eller genomt?nkt, utan mer som en stor lokal d?r man r?kat h?nga upp en massa tavlor. Och s? ett kalt kaf¨¦ mitt i alltihop som inte heller inbj?d till att sitta ner. K?nns lite som ett budgetalternativ (dock inte vad avser entr¨¦priset) till grannen V?rmlands museum som man kan bes?ka m?nga g?nger.

Lars Lerins konst tiltalar mig och det ?r trevligt att titta p? hans m?lningar. En del av de tempor?ra utst?llningarna som varit d?r har varit bra. det finns m?jlighet till fika och enklare mat, men den milj?n ?r under all kritik. P?minner om en skolmatsal fr?n 80-talet. Synd i en s?dan annars fin milj?. Att man inte utnyttjar den fantastiska verandan med utsikt ?ver klar?lven ?r f?r mig en g?ta.

Ett m?ste vid bes?k i Karlstad! Massor av Lars Lerins fantastiska tavlor. H?r kan man stanna en hel dag och beundra denne m?stares alster. G? sakta och titta n?ra, p? avst?nd och dr?m dig bort tillsammans med Lars. Trevligt caf¨¦ och fin museibutik. ?terv?nder g?rna.

resans m?l och h?jdpunkt. Var v?rt b?de hotellkostnad och bensin. Ser g?rna bilderna igen vid en annan ?rstid f?r att kunna utnyttja det trevliga fikets veranda

Trist lokal k?ndes ?de. M?nga kala v?ggar och ett virrvarr av colage som verkade finnas f?r att t?cka upp ytorna. Tyv?rr inte m?nga av Lerins stora fina akvareller. Det var b?ttre p? Laxholmen i Munkfors

Vill du se konst i v?rldsklass ska du g? hit. Konsten g?r inte att beskriva i ord. Luftiga lokaler med fint l?ge vid ?lven. Gott fika. N?got sn?lt utbud av posters i shoppen n?r vi var d?r.
