Some of his 1950s drawings at the gallery have never before been shown in Sweden.

When: Check the website for opening hours, which vary throughout spring and summer. The Andy Warhol exhibition runs from April 15th to September 25th

2. Miva Fine Art Galleries

With centres in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö, Miva Fine Art Galleries is one of Sweden's most well-known modern galleries and in southern Sweden a hub for many art societies. In Malmö it has opened its doors to a sure-to-be-fabulous spring exhibition pulling together some of the hottest names in the art world, including Swedish artist Camilla Lundén, impressionist Nigel Mason and Craig Davison who earned his stripes designing computer games.

When: 11am-4pm Monday-Saturday until April 30th

Where: Engelbrektsgatan 18, Malmö

3. Afghan Tales in Gothenburg

The travelling international exhibition Afghan Tales – the voice of Afghan photographers – is coming to Gothenburg in Sweden. A total of 75 pictures snapped by 22 contemporary Afghan photographers are on show at the Museum of World Culture to shed light on years of war, terror and oppression – but also development, happiness and hope. Around 40,000 refugees came to Sweden from Afghanistan in 2015 and this exhibition aims to offer a nuanced image of the world they left behind.

When: Tuesday-Friday noon-5pm (Wednesday noon-8pm), Saturday-Sunday 11am-5pm. The exhibition runs from April 9th to January 8th.

Where: Södra Vägen 54, Gothenburg
