After many years of sell-out solo exhibitions in London, Dreams on a Summer Night at Bosjökloster is a unique opportunity to see Brita Granström’s paintings here in her native Sweden.
Take a tour of Brita´s wild garden, a lake where evening swimmers take the plunge among flowering rushes, 18th century English home, lakeside Swedish summer house, as well as Piet Oudolf’s gardens at NOMA, Copenhagen.

Opening June 15, 2 pm
The exhibition is open daily June 15 - August 16, 2025 in the castle’s “View Room”.

“Granström’s painting is an art of healing.”
“At times, playful, her work nevertheless has a pensive, perhaps haunting quality that touches on something beyond the narrative nature of the images.”
“Brita beautifully captures in her paintings those intimate and tender moments in every day life, so often missed or ignored.”
