School of Architecture, Umeå Institute of Design, Umeå Academy of Fine Arts and HUMlab-x. These facilities provide worldclass creative education in an area that challenges the senses and inspires us all. The area is now also home to Bildmuseet, one of the country’s most interesting windows on contemporary visual expression and art. Bildmuseet projects a national and an international character. The exhibitions it produces often go on to tour the world. The music scene is an important part of
culture in Umeå. Scharinska’s music scene, with the guitar museum, café and restaurant in the same building, form a house of music in the heart of Umeå (formerly Vasaskolan). A scene that is even more attractive to local and international performers! In fact the whole city centre is in transition. New shops, offices and hotels are putting down roots in Umeå. The city is being nurtured by its people, by time and by life. Umeå is changing, growing and building for the future!
